Neymar’s contract termination with Al-Hilal have been dismissed as “fake news.”

In a twist of events, speculations surrounding Neymar’s contract termination with Al-Hilal have been dismissed as “fake news.” Renowned journalist Saif Al Saif, as reported by GOAL, has refuted the rumors, shedding light on the real reason behind Neymar’s absence from the squad list for the Saudi Pro League.

Contrary to termination reports, it has been clarified that Neymar’s exclusion is a strategic move by Al-Hilal to accommodate new signing Renan Lodi from Marseille. The Saudi Pro League imposes a limit of eight registered foreign players at a time, compelling the club to create space for Lodi due to Neymar’s season-ending injury.

Addressing the winter unregistration, the report emphasizes that Neymar, upon returning in time for the season’s conclusion, will have the opportunity to participate in the AFC Champions League and other foreign tournaments. However, Saudi football regulations prohibit his involvement in local Saudi tournaments, including the King’s Cup.

Importantly, Neymar’s contract remains intact, dispelling termination concerns. The Brazilian maestro is poised to make a triumphant return to the Saudi Pro League post-injury, with expectations set for the upcoming season.

As fans eagerly anticipate Neymar’s comeback, his continued presence in the Al-Hilal squad ensures that the club retains a formidable force, not only in domestic competitions but also on the international stage. Stay tuned for more updates on Neymar’s journey with Al-Hilal and his impact in the Saudi Pro League.
