Brazilian star Neymar has expressed his commitment to staying in Saudi Arabia despite rumours that Al-Hilal might end his contract due to recent injuries. Although his move from PSG was highly anticipated, Neymar’s season has been marred by setbacks. He remains optimistic, praising Saudi football’s growth and encouraging other players to experience it firsthand.
Struggling through a challenging period with an ongoing knee injury, Neymar has expressed a strong wish to continue his journey in Saudi Arabia, showcasing both his optimism and dedication to making a lasting impact in the region. Despite limited game time since his transfer from Paris, he remains resolute, conveying his enthusiasm for Saudi football’s unique growth and atmosphere.
Neymar’s move brought substantial excitement to the Saudi Pro League, drawing attention from global fans and media alike. His presence aims to inspire more top-tier players to consider Saudi Arabia as a promising destination, where he believes the sport is thriving and evolving at an impressive pace. In a statement given, he said:
“The opportunity to play here and live in a country like this is very important for people. That’s why I always say that I was very well-received here. I’m very happy and I’m sure it will only get better. I’m sure other stars will come here. I believe that many will have the opportunity to come here, and I think that everyone should have the opportunity to experience what I have experienced here.”
After a lengthy recovery from a knee injury, Neymar made his comeback but was forced off after just 29 minutes in a win against Esteghlal, later suffering a hamstring strain. Amid rumours of his possible exclusion from Al-Hilal’s roster for the upcoming season, Neymar has expressed his enjoyment of life in Saudi Arabia, encouraging other footballers to consider the opportunity.
