Neymar arrived in Saudi Arabia just over a month ago and is likely to leave because of trouble.

Neymar left PSG and joined Al Hilal more than a month ago for a fee of 90 million euros and signed a 2-year contract. He is considered one of the players that the Saudi Pro League operators look forward to most in attracting international audiences to watch the tournament, his fee is the tournament’s record fee.

Neymar performed very unconvincingly in the match Al Hilal was held to a 1-1 draw by Navbahor in the AFC Champions League, and that score was repeated in the next match in the Saudi Pro League when Damac held off Al Hilal. Al Hilal’s past two matches, great efforts from compatriots Michael and Malcom helped Al Hilal not lose while Neymar faded.

Not only that, there are rumors that Neymar and coach Jorge Jesus quarreled after the draw with Navbahor, stemming from Neymar not playing well and having a scuffle with opposing players. Although tensions between them temporarily calmed down after the match, after Neymar continued to play and continued to disappoint Damac, Jesus criticized this player in the dressing room and the two sides exchanged words.

Saudi Arabia’s The National newspaper even confirmed that Al Hilal’s board of directors warned Neymar about his behavior after the incident with Jorge Jesus, saying that if Neymar asked for him to be fired, he himself would be fired first. Jesus worked at the club 5 years ago and this year is considered a candidate for the Saudi Arabia head coach position due to his good relationship with senior figures in Saudi Arabian football.

In Al Hilal’s recent match against lower-ranked rival Al Jabalain in the Saudi King’s Cup, Neymar was completely not registered to play even though in this tournament Saudi Pro League clubs were allowed to use foreign players as per the rules of the national championship. Could this be a sign of a real rift? There is news that Neymar is considering returning to Santos to play and Al Hilal will only be a short-term stop.
