"To make Neymar's departure agreement effective immediately and by mutual consent, Al Hilal paid approximately 62 million euros in compensation for the remaining time of his contract, which was valid until June 30," Marca revealed.
Neymar officially leaves Al Hilal.
However, according to Brazilian media: "Neymar gave up a large portion of this money to leave as a free agent and become eligible to sign a contract with Santos. He is now on his way back to Brazil to complete a medical examination and sign a six-month contract with his former club, with an option to extend for the following year (until after the 2026 World Cup)."
Neymar's departure from Al Hilal was "through the back door," according to Marca . "The Saudi Arabian club issued a brief statement announcing the parting of the player they had signed with great fanfare and at an extremely high price, stating that it was by mutual agreement and acknowledging the Brazilian player's contributions," the Spanish newspaper added.
"However, in reality, Al Hilal tried to push Neymar out to find another star to replace him, possibly Mohamed Salah (from Liverpool). Neymar's time playing in the Saudi Pro League was almost forgotten, as he only played a mere 428 minutes over two seasons in just seven matches."
Al Hilal spent 90 million euros in transfer fees to acquire Neymar from PSG in the summer of 2023, paying him up to 150 million euros annually including salary, bonuses, and other expenses. However, the star player contributed nothing in return. They ultimately had to offload him through a backdoor deal for a negotiated fee of around 62 million euros," Marca emphasized.
Neymar has chosen to return to Santos, the club he left in 2013 to begin his European adventure with Barcelona. After more than a decade, the 32-year-old decided to return to his homeland to play out the remainder of his career, instead of heading to the United States to explore the new MLS league with his close friend Messi as he had previously planned.
