“He can’t play at that level anymore”

Neymar shown the door by Al Hilal and by Jorge Jesus who publicly explained how the Brazilian is no longer able to be at his usual levels: “It’s not easy, physically he can’t keep up with the team.”

The pharaonic and rich adventure Neymar in Saudi Arabia seems to have reached the end of the line. Little used and too often injured, the Brazilian has played only 7 games (1 goal, 3 assists) since his arrival‘Al Hilal on August 15, 2023. A balance that should no longer be updated according to his coach Jorge Jesus, which pushes the former PSG towards the departure. He spoke about it during a press conference in which the subject of Neymar was discussed several times, especially due to his very expensive salary paid to the player who up to this point he has not been useful to the team at all.

Neymar gains the beauty of 110 million dollars per season, or 101 million euros. As much as 80 million dollars in wages, plus another 30 off-the-field. Also for this reason, after his injury, the club is apparently deciding to let him leave. And Jorge Jesus explained why: “Neymar can no longer play at the level we are used to – explained the coach -. Things have become difficult for him, unfortunately. Neymar will not be included in the squad that will take part in the championship.”

A public statement therefore from the coach who evidently also had the green light from the club which could decide to end his experience in Arabia. “He can participate in the (Asian) Champions League – Jesus said again –. He is still under contract with Al Hilal and perhaps it is up to him to decide his future. It depends on the management.” These are Jesus’ statements in a press conference held today at the end of his team’s great success against Al Fateh (9-0) in the championship.

Neymar played only 42 minutes for Al-Hilal in 2024, how much he earned: an indecent amount

Neymar’s next team: an agreement is sought

“It’s not easy. Physically Neymar can’t keep up with the team.” concluded Jesus who was therefore very clear. According to Golazo America, the Chicago Fire are already looking for an agreement with Neymar similar to that of Inter Miami with Lionel Messi in terms of salary (around 20 million dollars per year) plus a large sponsorship opportunity. An agreement which, in light of the coach’s statements, could accelerate sharply. In practice Neymar seems to have been shown the door by the Saudi club.
