Neymar’s return to the Saudi Pro League is becoming clearer. Suffering a serious knee injury just a few weeks after his arrival at Al-Hilal, the Brazilian has generated a lot of frustration on the Saudi side, who were only able to see him in action for five matches (1 goal, 3 assists) before his physical problem.
Absent from the field for almost a year, Neymar now appears smiling in training while waiting for the green light from the doctors. Excellent news for the management of Al-Hilal who has invested heavily in the Auriverde international (an annual salary of between €300 million and €400 million). However, at a time when one might think that Ney would want to return the favor to the Saudis, Sport relays information from Jijantes which is likely to cause a stir.
Flick said no
The Catalan media assures that Neymar has offered his services to FC Barcelona! Aware of the Blaugranas’ desire to strengthen the left winger position, the former Parisian would have, as in 2019 when he played for PSG, expressed his desire to return to Catalonia. Unfortunately for him, this hypothesis would have been quickly dismissed by Hansi Flick.
The German would not look favorably on the arrival of the Brazilian. He has probably been put off by the injuries and controversies constantly surrounding the player. In addition, Barça certainly does not have the means to enlist a player that Al-Hilal will not want to sell off after recruiting him for €90 million. This is also why the Culers’ priority is a more financially accessible player, namely Juventus’ Italian, Federico Chiesa.
