There may be more reasons why Karim Benzema would normally enter France with bread, which Karim Benzema could not do when he was at Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid had a much better player than Karim Benzema, because of which he could not misbehave with the club.  But since his move to the Saudi pro-league, he has raised quite a high demand, although clubs should not be treated like that at the moment. Because Al Ittihad club pays enough because they keep him with more salary than all other clubs.

If Neymar has recovered from the injury, it is good to have Neymar in Al Hilal squad for the next season. No one doubts his skills, Neymar is one of the most talented players from Brazil. But he always has a problem with his injury, Neymar is a prone of injury. His life style also makes it worse, he is a typical of Brazilian player who is difficult to control the life style and don't really care about discipline. Al Hilal must try to change his habit if he want to stay away from the injury. Not sure if Al Hilal has the ability to change the habit of Neymar.  

Santos is his first team, it is normal if he wants to return to Santos and may retire there. If he never gets better in Al Hilal, it is a good decision to return to Santos. He may play in 1-2 seasons there before he considers to retire. I think it will be a quite meaningful end of his career as a footballer.

Neymar career history

Yes, SPL has many old talented players.
But Al Hilal successfully signed many top European players under 30 years old. They have good advantage by signing the players under 30 years old because they are still in their prime ages. Just look at Mitrovic, Milinković-Savić, Michael, Malcom, Rúben Neves, and Renan Lodi. These players still can perform optimally because they have no problem with their ages. I think other SPL clubs should follow AL Hilal.

Being there until 2026 going to be quite tough for Benzema, he has shown already that he leaves as soon as he gets a chance, like even with any injury, he doesn't want to be healed back by the team doctors and goes back to France instead, and spends his recovery there, considered it like some small vacation he can get.

Has he ever done that when he was at Real Madrid? Of course not, he was always letting them do whatever they can, which shows he trusted Real more than he trusts Ittihad which makes sense, but Ittihad also pays more to him than Real ever did. So, I think that disrespect will slowly cause a lot of trouble for him, I was honestly expecting Benzema to leave and go play at Lyon or something next season and I am shocked to learn what's going on.

Long term injury facing by Neymar is problem when the players till get national calling and Al Hilal have loss with most expensive players almost one season but its not problem after success become the winner in this season.
Neymar want to give his best perform for Al Hilal but recently few matches appearance he must absent after getting serious injury and absent almost one season match, after his name not including for Copa America 2024, I think is good impact for him get faster recovery and he will be ready for Al Hilal next season.

I believe Neymar will back to his top level perform next season although absent almost one season because its no first his long injury since playing with PSG he had absent many matches but he can back to his top perform.

Well where ever he chooses to play, it's still good for him besides he has played all his prime football in Europe and he is probably going any of these above mentioned places to actually go and relax his mind and chase seriously the money because that's what most players that are off to their prime time do and my only surprise was that Neymar too joined the trend and actually moved to Saudi league.

Why does Neymar Jr have to retire when he is injured he can still make money , and also haven't injuries become a friend in his football career? and this is not the first time he has been seriously injured and had to rest for a long time because he has experienced it several times and maybe the right word is often when he was at PSG, and Al-Hilal probably felt stupid for believing that this player would be fit so they dared to spend fantastic funds to bring him in this club, and there is no contribution to this club, not even to make this club much more famous than Al-Nassr, because it will be difficult to compete with Ronaldo's fame especially since he is still actively playing and contributing to being one of the productive strikers in this league

Of course there will still be when his contract at this club is finished, and his old club Santos reportedly wants to bring him back but his salary certainly won't be big, I don't think it's even half of what he got at Al-Hilal.

Nacho Fernández is creating a lot of hype in the transfer market. After that, I heard that Cristiano Ronaldo had approached him to join Al Nassr.  After that, I heard he was going to stay with Real Madrid for another season.  and probably yesterday I heard he was interested in going to MLS.  and now I am again hearing that he has been linked to Al Ittihad where he will be playing alongside his former teammate Benzema. I do not understand why she will be actually moving if he has a contract extension with Real Madrid. Right now it seems like him going to Al Ittihad can actually happen.  I really thought we would see him playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo but I guess he will choose Benzema over Ronaldo.

The Saudi league has become filled with talented players. Al-Hilal's team is filled with a group of young energetic players who ensure their victory without Neymar. If the player is most experienced but in a new environment, every player needs time to adjust their time and culture,

When Al Hillal brought in Neymar from PSG at a fancy price, of course their fans began to expect a lot from Neymar to be able to bring Al Hillal to compete with Al Nassr, the signing of Ronaldo by Al Nassr certainly caused the desire from other teams including Al Hillal to bring in star players, but precisely what they expected was not in accordance with the current reality,  Although indeed Al Hillal was still able to win the league without Neymar contribution, but still Al Hillal suffered a huge loss by bringing in Neymar, Al Hillal made the transfer of Neymar very carelessly because previously they knew that Neymar had a bad injury history, but continued to force the transfer to be realized.

Currently, it is reported that Neymar will still be retained by Al Hillal next season, especially now that it is reported that Neymar has recovered from his injury and started training after he did not get a call from the Brazilian national team for the 2024 Copa America, Santos is his childhood club and he has also confirmed that one day he will return to Santos,  But I think with Al Hillal still on his contract, of course he may have the desire to prove himself with Al Hillal next season to silence the criticism he has received so far before returning to Santos.

Saudi league, right? Superstars are there. But it also has young, ambitious guys. Watch Al-Hilal. They win without Neymar. Great teams have that. Players like Benzema need time to warm up. It happens. New country, new game. But the guy's a winner. Saw him play. He'll figure it out.

Al-Ittihad has potential. But potential aint enough. They must become stronger and sharper. The team, not just the midfield, works together. That's how you win championships. Benzema? He's a champion. A season will put him back on top. Take my word. This league is getting better every day.

Many players from Europe are going to be playing for Saudi clubs next season, I have heard many players who want to join Saudi clubs in the transfer market, teams like Al Nassr and Al Etihad are going to Europe to get more players that will help their clubs to perform well next season, Al Nassr and Al Etihad need to get more players to improve their team performance, those Saudi clubs players are not that good enough to help some good players like Ronaldo and Benzema, Ronaldo was disappointed at all Al Nassr players last season because they didn’t even win a single match against Al Hilal and they end up without no trophy in the end of the season.

Ronaldo's own is even better, how many of us know that Karim Benzema is playing for Al Etihad? Benzema is one of the best strikers in football history, Benzema took Real Madrid to the top level and also won Ballondior in 2022 and now he can’t even score more than 10 goals in a season for Al Etihad, to be honest, Saudi football teams need to go to Europe and get good players that their contract is expired and bring them to improve the team performance, if Al Nassr doesn’t win any trophy in Saudi league next season Ronaldo should leave the team because it is a disgrace to see the best player in the world ending a season without a trophy.

At the beginning of his arrival at Al Hilal he was very warmly welcomed, because they hoped that with this player Al Hilal's game could be very good. But in reality, even though they are without Neymar, they can play very well this season. Then there was the drama where there was a dispute between management and Neymar and the dispute became even bigger because the fans finally spoke out. Even though in the end it was resolved well, it is still certain that Al Hilal was not happy with what they received from Neymar. They spent a lot of money but they didn't receive anything from Neymar.
Actually, this is not Neymar's fault, because he also doesn't want to face a long injury like this. Al Hilal also has a hand in my opinion, because they don't look at the history of injuries that Neymar experiences so often. They should consider that aspect too, because with a history of injuries like that it is possible that the same thing will happen.

What an incompetent individual. I believe Neymar declared that he would not be leaving Al Hilal. Neymar stated that he wants to bring a lot of trophies to Al Hilal but it may not be coming true. To be honest, Neymar is frequently disrespectful to the Al Hilal. Without a doubt, the club may fire him as quickly as possible following his contradicted post on his social account. Neymar was rarely showing respectful act toward al hilal.

Neymar received a large wage on Al Hilal. It would be ridiculous if Neymar tried to push Al Hilal to fire him. Neymar is consistently rude to his present club. This is another unacceptable act by him. There is no doubt that al-Hilal followers are being triggered.

This may be considered a sensitive photo from him. Neymar is so foolish to post this. I was expecting neymar would show more respect to Al Hilal as his club, but it appeared to me that Neymar had lost it all. Neymar never sees al hilal as his club.
It is preferable for Al Hilal to end his contract. Al Hilal can utilize the money to pay his wage and pursue the next European player again.

In my opinion, Neymar should have retired because the injury he suffered was so serious that even moving to another club would only result in a salary burden without making any contribution, like what Al Hilal is currently getting, who have been patiently waiting for Neymar to recover, but in fact there has been no change that happened.
Neymar may still want to have a career in football but in fact it actually gives a negative thing if he only thinks about money and the club that owns him has to bear the risks that will occur when he has only appeared a few times and then he will get injured again.

Looking at the photo you provided, actually it wasn't on purpose but it was just a daily shirt, but if it won on purpose and Neymar wants to move to another club, I think Al Hilal should let him go rather than lose out on paying a big salary without getting any contribution from Neymar.
The question is whether there will be clubs from other leagues who will make an offer to Neymar who is injured?

It turns out that he didn't go to Al-Nassr and didn't choose to join Ronaldo, but Nacho preferred to be in the same squad as Benzema. I think his decision was the right one regardless of his choice, especially since he ended the season with Real Madrid by winning various titles. I think there is no reason for Nacho to stay even though he was offered a season's contract extension and he is very satisfied with what he won.

Now a new chapter of his career is about to begin and he just has to enjoy life with his family in the Saudi league. However, we will still wait for the existing agreement with Al-Ittihad and this will increase the popularity of the Saudi league again if it continues to bring in European players. I'm still waiting to see who else will come and the saudi league will continue to invest in european players as long as they have enough money to sign them.

I have constantly said that the problem with these Arabs is that they don't understand anything about football, they have a lot of money, but they are tied to the region and this is already a failure from the beginning when it comes to football. In Europe, a player like Benzema has freedom, his wife behaves as she wants, their children behave as they want, Benzema despite being Muslim, he is French, he grew up in a country where laws are not based on religion. while in Saudi Arabia, things are completely different, and I believe that Benzema regretted leaving Real Madrid to go to that league. As long as these Arabs live based on religion, then they will not evolve in football

As I said before and I repeat again: these Arabs don't understand anything about football, because they want to spend money bringing in another player when the real problem is the coach who is not a great coach, Gallardo was coach of an Argentine team, that's enough ask what kind of great experience does someone have who coached Club Atlético River Plate from 2014 to 2022? to win titles you need an experienced coach who has dealt with big European teams

Al lttihad wants to keep him because he is helping them to sell jersey, because of him fans are coming to the games that he is announced to play. This is the only reason I can think about because he is not doing extraordinary well for the club to want to extend his contract. Teams extend players that has an influence when all they want is for more media and publicity to be on their club. Benzema is not a very top player, he has been struggling before and now he is struggling to impact the Saudi Arabia league. The only reason he won the ballon d'or was because he was playing for Real Madrid and had alot of good players assisting him to score goals and playing their part in their different roles. Benzema can not carry an average team all by himself because he is not that type of guy.

Benzema's contract for another year, and those jersey purchases continue to be like high rollers at the casino. But Benzema's got that 'trapped in paradise' look on his face. Skipping training, missing matches, it's like he's allergic to the sand. Think about it, man. Just phoning it in, a Ballon d'Or winner, a world-class attacker. One sees a depressing sight here. Though it ain't helping them win, they are sticking to him for financial reasons

Al Ittihad needs a serious striker upgrade. Benzema ain't the answer anymore. They need a hungry wolf, someone who will rip the pitch and carry the trophy back home. Otherwise, their season's gonna be as dry as the desert

From the many news sites I read, it looks like Virgil Van Dijk will not leave Liverpool. The reason is that he still has one more season's contract at Liverpool, apart from that he also stated that he will stay at Liverpool.

So it is clear that Al Nasr's hopes of bringing in Van Dijk at this time will most likely not be achieved. The reason is, even though Van Dijk left and for example ended his contract with Liverpool, he did not seem interested in the Saudi Arabian League. However, he seems to really want to join Barcelona, ​​because in several interviews he also said things that indicated he really wanted to join Barcelona.
So now it looks like Al Nasr has to look for another strong defender to make his defense even stronger. So far I have not received any information regarding who Al Nasr's tough defender will be bringing in. Maybe this season Al Nasr can bring in defenders from other clubs in Saudi Arabia. Because if Al Nasr is too insistent on bringing in young defenders from Europe, in my opinion it will be very difficult. Because young players in Europe definitely have big dreams and don't just want to make money. So you can be sure that Al Nasr will definitely have difficulty bringing in young defenders from Europe.

Apart from that, if for example Al Nasr still wants a defender from Europe, but for example the player is old, I am sure that if Al Nasr succeeds in bringing him in then the results will not be good. So it would be better for Al Nasr to look for a talented young defender from Saudi Arabia, if for example looking for a European player is no longer possible.

Neymar, the injured superstar player of Al Hilal couldn't help his team at all and he was mostly injured. He just played in five games for Al Hilal we didn't see anything from this Brazilian player while he was having a much better performance when he was younger before he joined the Saudi League.
Since Al Hilal spent too much money on Neymar they were unhappy and how it seems Neymar posted a picture of himself with Santos's shirt which made the Al Hilal fans mad.
Now there is the chance for Neymar to leave Al Hilal and play for Santos.
