Neymar fell again.

Al-Hilal beat Estegral 3-0 in the fourth round of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage of 2024-2025 season at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at 3 a.m. on the 5th (Korea time). Aleksandar Mitrovic completed his hat trick by scoring his first goal in the 15th minute of the first half, then his 33rd and 29th minutes of the second half. Al-Hilal won four consecutive games and raced to the top of Group B with 12 points.

However, he could not afford to just smile. It was because of Neymar's injury. Starting from the bench, Neymar stepped on the ground in the 13th minute of the second half when his team was leading 2-0. There was not much time left until the end of the game and there was a new variable. Stumbling in the process of getting the pass in the 42nd minute of the second half, Neymar sent a substitute sign to the bench. Neymar, holding his right hamstring, felt the injury. Eventually, he bowed his head and exited the touchline.

Imar became a victim of the Paris Saint-Germain rebuild in the summer of 2023 and headed to Saudi Arabia, where he was shelling out an astronomical amount of money at the time. The transfer fee he recorded after moving to Al Hilal amounted to 100 million euros, including options. The annual salary was also enormous. The contract lasted until the summer of 2025.

Neymar's life in Saudi Arabia became a tragedy soon after. Neymar suffered a fatal injury during a preliminary match against Uruguay in October last year for the 2026 North-China World Cup in South America. He had to undergo treatment and rehabilitation for nearly a year. Neymar was substituted in the second half of the Asian Champions League elite match against Al Ain on June 22, and successfully returned to the team. He thus wasted half of his contract period due to injury.

However, he collapsed again due to an injury shortly after his return. It remains to be seen whether Neymar will be able to play normally for the rest of his career due to frequent injuries.

Nevertheless, interest in Neymar is hot. Neymar's contract expires next summer. Already, stories about Neymar's next destination are pouring in. There have been reports that Inter Miami, where Messi and Suarez play, is seeking to revive the MSN trio. In fact, Neymar recently bought a house in Miami, USA, and the trip to Inter Miami is gaining credibility. 토토사이트

On top of that, Santos also emerged as a candidate. "Neymar will come back to Santos in June next year. We are communicating with him directly," Niko told Yobem Van radio. This is not the first time Neymar has been rumored to return to Santos. Santos once mentioned Neymar's return in 2023. At the time, Neymar denied that he would return to Santos in 2024 because of his contract with Al-Hilal, but said, "It's clear that Santos is my favorite team. I want to go back someday."
