Neymar’s move from Al-Hilal to Brazilian club Santos means the Saudi Pro League has lost one of its most high-profile players.

Former Barcelona forward Neymar Jr said his final goodbyes to Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal after agreeing to terminate his contract with the club after two years.

The 32-year-old superstar has struggled with injuries but hopes a return to South American can revive his career

Neymar has reached an agreement to rejoin boyhood club Santos on a six-month contract after leaving Al Hilal. It was announced on January 27 that the 32-year-old had agreed to a mutual termination of his contract with the Saudi Pro League side.

Following the contract termination, Neymar is set to return to Brazilian club Santos, where he first broke out in the soccer world, soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported Monday.

(Reuters) -Brazil forward Neymar will return to his boyhood club Santos from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, he posted on social media on Thursday. Neymar, 32, joined Al-Hilal from Paris St Germain for a reported 90 million euros ($93.

Neymar, Brazil’s all-time top scorer, joined Al Hilal in August 2023, following fellow superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema to the Gulf. But two months after his arrival in Riyadh, he ruptured a cruciate ligament in his left knee while playing for Brazil in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, which kept him on the sidelines for a year.

Neymar has agreed to sign for his former side Santos in Brazil, saying "it feels like I'm going back in time". Brazil's record goalscorer, 32, is expected to sign a short-term deal at the club where he began his career.

Amid the confirmation of his return to Santos FC, Neymar Jr. wrote a surprising message naming a Brazilian superstar as his successor—and it’s not Vinicius Junior.

Neymar has announced that he has completed a remarkable return to his boyhood club Santos in a post on social media. The forward shared an emotional video on X in which he revealed that he has decided to "sign the contract with Santos Futebol Clube".

Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal says it has reached an agreement with Brazilian striker Neymar to terminate his contract by mutual consent.
