Reports from Brazilian sports website UOL indicate that Neymar Jr.’s future at his Saudi club is in doubt, with the team reportedly considering terminating his contract as early as January.
This move comes after the Brazilian star’s persistent injury troubles, which have sidelined him for much of the season, leaving him with only seven appearances since his high-profile transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The Saudi club, having made a significant financial investment in Neymar’s transfer and salary, is now reportedly exploring its options as it looks to mitigate losses. With Neymar’s injuries continuing to affect his on-field contributions, the club is said to be weighing the possibility of cutting ties early and possibly seeking a new marquee signing, with Cristiano Ronaldo being mentioned as a potential target.
Neymar’s struggles with fitness have cast a shadow over what was initially seen as a groundbreaking move to Saudi Arabia. The club’s decision, if it moves forward, would mark a dramatic shift in their approach, as they shift focus toward finding a new star player to drive the team forward.
