Al-Hilal considering replacing Neymar with Cristiano Ronaldo: Report
The Saudi club are looking to sell the Brazilian.
Al-Hilal can no longer put up with Neymar. When the Saudi team acquired the Brazilian from PSG over eighteen months ago, they made a significant financial investment in him. However, things have not gone as planned.
Neymar is one of the most well-known players in the Saudi Pro League, although he hasn’t played much for Al-Hilal. He was signed with much hype but the forward has barely played for them ever since joining.
The former FC Barcelona superstar has already missed more than 50 games for his new team due to cruciate ligament damage, which occurred only a few weeks after his arrival. He only made five appearances before he picked up the season-ending injury.
Despite his recent recovery, and later in his second appearance post-comeback during Al-Hilal’s 3-0 victory against Esteghlal of Iran in the Asian Champions League Elite earlier this week, Neymar was sidelined due to yet another leg ailment.
Neymar’s future at Al-Hilal is now extremely questionable due to his startling injury record and most recent setback. If this continues the Saudi side could consider selling him in January 2025.
Al-Hilal are willing to move the injured South American and are eager to replace him with Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr, according to a recent report from Fichajes. Ronaldo is still playing at a high level even though he is seven years older than Neymar.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has barely missed games since joining the Saudi team over two years ago, is still among football’s most physically fit players. Al-Hilal are thinking about taking him to the Blue Jewel Stadium because of this.
Neymar has little chance of staying in the Pro League if Al-Hilal sell him when his contract ends at the conclusion of the current campaign. Instead, he has been linked to a move to Santos of Brazil and Lionel Messi‘s side Inter Miami. The Miami rumour mill is trending as he did buy land in Florida recently.
