Neymar’s move from Al-Hilal to Brazilian club Santos means the Saudi Pro League has lost one of its most high-profile players.

Neymar announced Thursday he was returning to Brazilian club Santos, where he started his career, after ending his injury-plagued spell with Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.

Neymar has reached an agreement to rejoin boyhood club Santos on a six-month contract after leaving Al Hilal. It was announced on January 27 that the 32-year-old had agreed to a mutual termination of his contract with the Saudi Pro League side.

The contract was mutually terminated… Mega club Al-Hilal first announced that they’d be bringing Neymar over to the Saudi Pro League from Paris Saint-Germain F.C. back in August 2023 as the team’s superstar forward.

Neymar has agreed to return to Santos nearly 12 years after he left the Brazilian team, club president Marcelo Teixeira said Tuesday.

Almost $200m spent and just one goal to show for it? In terms of goals-to-transfer fees, Neymar's move to Al Hilal might go down as one of the worst of all time.

Brazilian soccer star Neymar will rejoin Santos, where he made his senior level debut in 2009, after ending his tenure with Saudi Pro League franchise Al Hilal, Santos president Marcelo Teixeira announced Tuesday.

Neymar’s first club, Santos, could be his last, but don’t rule out a late resurgence from the ex-Barcelona and PSG forward—his career for Brazil is not over, either.

Brazil forward Neymar will return to his boyhood club Santos from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, he posted on social media on Thursday. Neymar, 32, joined Al-Hilal from Paris St Germain for a reported 90 million euros ($93.

Neymar has confimed he will return to his boyhood club, Santos, as he looks to recover from an ACL injury that has heavily disrupted his career in recent seasons.

The Saudi Pro League has been a top destination for top players since Cristiano Ronaldo joined in 2023. Neymar and other players regretted joining the league.
