Neymar and Al Hilal have agreed to terminate his contract, which will allow him to sign with Santos. Neymar joined Al Hilal in 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of $97.6 million. Neymar suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while on international duty shortly after signing for Al Hilal.
Neymar has agreed to give up a significant portion of his salary from his deal with Al Hilal, which runs through next summer. Sources said he will forfeit between $25 million and $30 million from the $65 million remaining on his contract.
Neymar began his professional career with Santos in 2009, leading them to a Copa Libertadores triumph in 2011.
