Neymar insists that he “gave everything to play” for Al-Hilal despite his contract with the Saudi Arabian Club ended after only seven games.
The Brazil striker joined Al-Hilal in August 2023 of Paris Saint-Germain in an agreement worth 77 million pounds Sterling and agreed with a declared salary of 129 million pounds sterling per year.
However, a knee injury suffered a game for his country during a World Cup qualification against Uruguay a few months before his Saudi career saw him away for a long time.
He returned in November but had a hard time having an impact and his agreement ended with the mutual consent late last night.
