Amid many reports that Neymar is leaving Saudi Arabia, interviewed that he is happy in Saudi Arabia.
British media 'Goal Dotcom' reported on the 13th (Korea time) that "Neymar broke his silence amid speculation that he could terminate his contract with Saudi professional league Al Hilal due to his recent injury."
Neymar has had a rough year since suffering a left knee injury. Neymar moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Saudi Arabia for an estimated 80 million pounds (W143.3 billion) in the summer of 2023, but the transfer has yet to go as planned.
With Neymar sidelined for a year due to a ruptured cruciate ligament and only recently returning, speculation is rising that Al Hilal could terminate his current contract, which expires in the summer, as he will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
Neymar has already been linked with several clubs, including Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and his former club, Santos. Neymar talked about his future as he officially participated in Saudi Arabia's bid for the 2024 World Cup, claiming that he is still happy at Al-Hilal.
Neymar said, "Being able to play here and live in a country like this is a very important opportunity for people. That's why I always say I've been treated very well here. I'm very happy and I'm sure I'll get better in the future."
He continued, "I'm sure other stars will come here, too. I think a lot of people will have the opportunity to come here, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience what I've experienced here."
Neymar will not return to Al Hilal until December, and his future will likely be on the lips of many. For now, Neymar will be able to negotiate with other clubs and sign pre-contracts starting in January 2025.
Commenting on rumors of Neymar's connection to Santos, Santos owner Marcio Calves directly addressed Neymar's wish to achieve his dream of returning to his old team.
"There are no official negotiations with Neymar at the moment, but it is the dream of every fan to have Neymar back at our club. Neymar and Santos have a great relationship. He started his career here, and his chances of returning depend on his desire and his performance at Al Hilal," Calves told Mundo Deportivo. 메이저놀이터
He continued, "I think there is a 60% chance Neymar will be with us once his contract with Al Hilal is over. Neymar loves Santos and is looking to play in the 2026 World Cup, so he can accept leaving the team."
