Al Hilal make important decision on Neymar after rumors of him returning to former club circulate

Soccer in Saudi Arabia was rocked by Neymar Jr.'s summer 2023 transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal. Along with Cristiano Ronaldo, the Brazilian star's debut at Al-Nassr had the potential to revolutionize the Pro League and increase its appeal to elite players. Neymar could not play to his full capacity due to a knee injury, though, which fueled speculation that he would return to Santos next summer. Al-Hilal has big ambitions for the Brazilian forward's future despite these rumors.

Reports claims that Al Hilal has now taken a significant course of action: they will formally register Neymar for the balance of the Saudi Pro League season, enabling him to participate in official games, something he was previously unable to do. To make room for Renan Lodi, the team decided to cut Neymar from their squad following his injury, and this decision was still in effect at the beginning of the current campaign. 

Neymar returning to Santos

After recovering from a strained muscle and undergoing surgery to replace his left knee's anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, Neymar is nearly ready to play again. Coach Jorge Jesus may be able to add another player if Ney gets better. Because of the current situation, Neymar Jr. has a limited amount of playing time left in the season.

The AFC Champions League Elite is his final major competition because he is not eligible to play in the Saudi Pro League. His team might play up to seven more games if they make it to the final. Neymar's level of skill makes this a little window of chance.

The wisest plan of action for Neymar is to play as many games as possible between now and next summer to restore his best form, regardless of whether his future is with Al-Hilal, Santos in Brazil, or another team worldwide. As a result, Neymar and Al-Hilal will both depend on the club's early decision.
