Neymar Jr’s decision to leave PSG for Saudi Arabia last summer has turned into a nightmare for both the player and his new club Al Hilal. The Brazilian superstar, who was expected to be the main attraction in the Saudi league, has been sidelined with a serious injury since the early stages of the season.
Now, as Neymar’s recovery process drags on, with reports of him playing poker and indulging in partying rather than focusing on his rehabilitation, the Al Hilal management is growing increasingly frustrated. The club’s initial hopes of seeing Neymar back in action at his best seem to be fading away.
In fact, rumors have emerged suggesting that Neymar might even be considering retirement. With the vast wealth he has accumulated over the years, he could easily live comfortably without ever playing football again.

Neymar’s apparent lack of commitment to the sport, coupled with his lengthy injury history, has cast a shadow over what could have been a glorious career. The former Santos and Barcelona star, who was once considered one of the most talented players in the world, now risks being remembered as a “what if” story.
Al Hilal, meanwhile, is already looking for a replacement for Neymar and is even considering rescinding his contract a year early. The club’s hefty investment in the Brazilian has backfired spectacularly, and they are now left to pick up the pieces.
