I can't imagine whether it would be a big loss or not, about Al Hilal to recruit Neymar because ya, Neymar only played a few times because Neymar also seemed to take a big risk playing for the Brazilian national team and then suffered a long injury . But atleast, fortunately, Al Hilal is still very strong at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings this season and also, Al Hilal still has a big chance of getting the trophy . Therefore, I can't imagine whether recruiting Neymar is a big loss or not because at the same time Al Hilal is still having a very good performance this season.

A lot of reports have been found in the media recently about Karim Benzema and a possible move away from his current club Al Ittihad but what I've actually not understood about the whole matter is the reason behind his decision to leave the club this winter transfer window. It's been reported that he's not been training with the rest of the club's players in recent weeks but I haven't read about the reason behind his refusal to train with the team. When it comes to football, Karim Benzema is a big name and that's because of what he was able to achieve in his career as a professional footballer. During his days as a Real Madrid player, the former France forward was able to win the UEFA Champions League trophy on five different occasions as well as winning the Balon D'or in before his move to Al Ittihad last summer.

I believe the management of Al Ittihad are currently trying to settle whatever the issue might be with the player and we're expecting them to release a statement soon about the future of the player but I believe that they'll definitely want to keep the player at the club. Hopefully for the two parties, they come to resolvable terms

Neymar head was never 100% in football like 90% of the brazilians players, but right now i think he have 20% of his head in play football and only for fun, he is full in streaming or other business of him like the cruise of him in Brazil itself.

For that his recovery is lasting longer than ever.

Currently, Benzema is still registered as an Al Ittihad player. but if I refer to Romano's report, more meetings will be held soon to discuss Karim Benzema's future. however, the situation remains tense at Al Ittihad. The SPL boss still wants Karin Benzema to stay in Saudi, even joining another Saudi club. returning to Europe was only possible with a major pay cut. Well, so far there is no certainty about Karim Bezema's future, especially if Romano reports that there will be many meetings to determine his future.

Let's just say that if Benzema eventually returns to the European League, that means Al Ittihad must immediately find a replacement and at the same time improve the team's strength if the club management wants Al Ittihad's performance and improvement. At least they have to do something so that their team doesn't get worse, because Benzema's departure could have an impact on the team's mentality as a whole. In fact, Al Hilal must make changes not only in the defense line. but in some sectors, like the Al Nassr or Al Hilal squad. Al Ittihad winger, cannot be relied on much, especially in helping Benzema score goals. Apart from that, Al Ittihad is not only satisfied with Ngolo Kante and Fabinho. At least, they have to bring in one more reliable additional player. But I'm not sure if Al Ittihad will make major changes except next summer. Well, let's see what developments come next. After all, there is still time to prepare and change whether there is or without Benzema.

Well actually the thing that is a problem is this, I mean a lot of people associate Cristiano Ronaldo, yes he is in the Al Nassr squad but still Al Nassr is not at the top of the table, and is even now behind. I am strange with people who have thoughts like this, because in my opinion with the presence or absence of Ronaldo the position of the club is determined by the team itself not determined by an individual person.
I understand maybe because Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world that most people have high expectations of him. But again that has nothing to do with it, because they are a team. Looking at the individual he can actually make a big contribution to the team, it is proven by the goals he has created. Moreover, we know that they have problems in defense which is not Ronaldo's position.

So, are you still hoping him to come back? Al hilal doesn't need him and he has been excluded from the squad too. Neymar cannot play this season coz his bad attitude was making the management was so mad at him. I would rather suggest al hilal to get a new winger who can replace him. The worst thing being made by al hilal to recruit neymar from PSG which is being so wasteful transfer. He can't even show his respect to the al hilal. It will be so pointless in waiting him to change his attitude toward the club.


The key is SELFISH and i totally agree with it. Despite the fact that he has been receiving a significant amount of money by signing the contract with Al Hilal, it is evident that he lacks genuine concern for the club. The club still fine without him.
I hope he will never ever comeback to the club again. Al Hilal should avoid recruiting a toxic guy to disrupt the current team. neymar will be only disturbing the club to get saudi pro league trophy.

The current squad is very good. Al hilal needs only to find a back up for mitrovic like you said above. This must be the main problem needs to be sorted out.

Well Neymar to Al Hilal was a big window transfer for many functions such as helping the team gain success and also building up on the team’s online presence. Neymar is out with injury already and this might not be realistic because he’s not on pitch to get the fans to watch him play lest they’re not getting that market audience they needed with his signing. Hopefully he'll recover quickly and get back on the pitch.

 Well his signing had it’s own bargain and I think they gave Neymar the upper hand in this signing. This has led to him being selfish and jus focusing on the money he’s getting from them and nothing else. Well I don’t think the club is disturbed by his absence, rather they want to offload him and bring in another European star who’ll help in building squad depth should incase Mitrovic falls out of injury. They don’t want to loose out on the league.

After Neymar joined Al Hilal, the team was enjoying a comfortable and well-run game and any match with any team would be filled with massive betting competition. Neymar is currently injured due to which the Al Hilal team looks alarming but the current Al Hilal team is very strong. While Neymar has been a typically European player in the past, his run rate has been greatly reduced due to major injuries in recent years. As a powerful star, Neymar has gone down a lot these days and his performance is now very weak.

Al-Hilal did not take that into account at all and the most important thing for them was to be able to get more exposure by bringing in Neymar. But what is happening now is very detrimental for Al-Hilal because its star player cannot strengthen the team and cannot even become a pivot in promoting the team to a wider reach. Apart from playing at Al-Hilal, Neymar's other function is to be able to get more attention from marketing to advertising, but this cannot be realized if Neymar is still injured.

Indeed, there is something quite strange and it seems as if Neymar's power is stronger here than the team that brought him and he can just choose which team he should play for and at that time Neymar chose the Brazilian national team. Here it is clear that Neymar only cares about the money Al-Hilal gave him and doesn't want to know how Al-Hilal suffered losses because he brought him in. I think Neymar is quite selfish and his considerations are always painful for Al-Hilal.

We certainly hope that Al-Hilal will not be disturbed by Neymar's absence and their current focus is clearly on winning the Saudi league and considering that their distance advantage is still too far from a team like Al-Nassr, they must prioritize their work first rather than dealing with Neymar who is not the role is so clear.

And in my opinion, Al Hilal must already know that this player has a history of frequent injuries and it is recorded that he has suffered 16 injuries in the last 7 seasons. This should have been taken into consideration by the club that recruited him because the quality of his performance has definitely decreased even though this player was a top player at first, he has been given good facilities for Al Hilal since he was in Saudi but he is still determined to defend his country, there is no prohibition for players to continue defending their country but sometimes national competitions can have a bad impact on important players and we often hear that many important players have suffered injuries while defending their country and Al Hilal's worries really happened to Neymar.

Even though they experienced quite a big financial loss because Neymar was injured, currently Al Hilal's condition is still fine and still firmly at the top of the standings so Neymar also feels calm because his club has no problems even though he is not there because basically Al Hilal is also a club. strongest in the Saudi league before Neymar. Yes, at least by bringing in Neymar Jr it can increase the popularity of the Saudi league and Al Hilal is also not free from this popularity apart from Al Nassr which has Ronaldo.

I believe that initially Al Hilal's intention to bring Neymar to his club was to get a complete package. Namely to increase the team's popularity and be able to sharpen the attack line. Actually, if we talk about popularity after Neymar arrived, Al Hilal has got it. Because I still remember, at that time the name Al Hilal was in the spotlight of football fans all over the world.
However, to sharpen his attack line, Neymar has not shown good performance in several matches with Al Hilal. Because at that time Neymar most likely had not adapted well, so his performance when playing at Al Hilal was not optimal. Moreover, Neymar was just recovering from his injury at that time. So it is certain that physically, mentally and skills are still not completely good.

So when Neymar was playing with the Brazilian national team and suffered an injury against Uruguay, actually at that time Neymar was starting to get used to the football atmosphere in Saudi Arabia. But unfortunately because he did not obey Al Hilal's words, he has been affected to this day.

And when talking about the financial losses experienced by Al Hilal as a result of Neymar's injury. I think this is indeed detrimental for Al Hilal. But fortunately all of that was cured by the presence of Mitrovic who was able to surprise Al Hilal with his neat performance. So basically Al Hilal made the right move by signing two striker players last season.

Well, the two matches that Al-Ittihad will play are two matches that are easy to finish with win and of course Al-Ittihad have to start learning how to play again without relying too much on Benzema.
Moreover, if Benzema will really leave Al-Ittihad then it is clear that they will inevitably have to be able to adapt to having good performance without this one star player, it just not clear whether Benzema will really leave Al-Ittihad or not.
As long as Al-Ittihad has much better defensive performance then they will still be able to win because the front line without Benzema can still be said to be quite good.
Al-Ittihad always experience defeat because their defense line is very weak and they have to prioritize defensive strategy to be able to improve perfection in their playing formation.
If Al-Ittihad can have strong defense then I sure that they will be able to minimize the chances of defeat and at least be able to get win and various points with draw, this is much better than just suffering defeat.

I sure that Al-Ittihad will be able to play well in the second half when it starts and I believe that Al-Ittihad actually has quite big potential to be able to dominate the SPL and become one of the strongest team.

Al Hilal can play well without Neymar and they can end the contract with him without big effects on their squad and performances. Keeping him and paying him lucrative salary while they don't get appearances on field from him, is not smart money use.

It makes sense if Al Hilal makes this big decision which can shock some people but with me, it can be expected with Neymar's physical conditions.

Young players and players who are at golden times of their career will feel so hard to leave Europe and join Saudi Professional League. Mbappe belongs to a second type of players in this example. With latest rumor that some players want to return to Europe, Mbappe will have more reasons that moving to Saudi Professional League is not a good decision for his career.

I believe Mbappe will not move to the league but still unsure what club he will play for in a next season, PSG or Real Madrid, we will have to wait for some more months.

But it makes sense if it's like that. Because even then, when Neymar was at PSG, he was just recovering and even had a few minor injury problems. So Al-hilal seems to already know this. And we also know that when Neymar was brought to Al-Hilal he was not immediately played because Neymar was still in a condition that had not yet recovered optimally. But at that time a quite funny incident happened, namely that Neymar was left to rest by Al-hilal but Neymar himself went to defend his national team. And at that time everything was fine. And then the following month Neymar went back to his national team and was injured.

Al-Hilal faced financial losses. But they seem to be okay with that. Because the Al-Hilal club is now getting stronger and has not been defeated in the SPL. And at least Al-hilal or SPL has indeed received world attention because it has succeeded in bringing in Neymar even though Neymar is currently still injured.

If the coach trains anywhere there is no problem. the main thing is that the salary and contract are large. and Gerrad gets a big contract too.
If the player is a little different, it's not only money that is wanted. what's more young players and careers are still long. that's why top players are still young and star players have no interest in playing in the Saudi Arabian league. For example, Mbappe was offered a very lucrative contract and was not interested at all in playing in the Saudi Arabian league.

Naymar's fate is not much different from that of football legend Maradona, perhaps his style of play which often dribbles the ball makes his opponents' emotions hot to the point that his feet often become targets for opponents. This is different from Messi and Ronaldo, who play more simply and often release passes as quickly as possible before being targeted by their opponents. Naymar suffered many injuries and his recovery took a long time. I think maybe he will retire early.

Al Hilal is now in first place and is the only team that has not been defeated in the SPL, even without Neyamar, Al Hilal remains consistent. So losing Neymar is not a big problem for Al Hilal. I also think Al Hilal is not thinking about financial losses because Neymar can't play because they are a team that has a lot of money.

Totenham was forcing al nassr to put more money on its offer. The way for saudi club to get european players becomes even more difficult caused by european club may be putting a very high price tag for their players. This is also the main reason al nassr needs to put at least 40 millions for him. Totenham will never ever let its player go away by exchanged him with small amounts of money. In fact, totenham can see this as an opportunity to get more money from the market.

I think that al nassr can try to find another solution for him. His performance was not worth with his price which was so high. The price is based on the totenham's offer and that's it. Al nassr is still having enough time to recruit other player.
The club needs to think about this caused by al nassr can't waste a lot of money just to buy a player from totenham. Totenham has been pricing him very high at this moment. It's a disaster for the club.

Recruiting EU player to go to the SPL will consume a lot of money.

Tottenham Hotspur looking for potential players to add to the club, to boost their performance. This is certainly not a time for Spurs to let go of their important players, they need every backup player to be available because injury and fatigue affects the main players more often. There are good offers for European players, SPL clubs will not rest matters. Saudi Arabia clubs coming for more vital players this summer, they don't easily give up because they have the capital to bring any player of any level to their league but it can only be done when these players pledge out their desires to play for SPL club.

Exactly. Actually, Neymar has 3 problems:
1. Aging
2. Injury prone
3. Attitude

So, it is quite complicated, Neymar has some serious problems. He is getting older, surely his physical or fitness will be decreasing. Neymar isn't a footballer who can keep good lifestyle as Ronaldo. It makes him difficult to maintain his healthy. Neymar also sometimes has a problem with his attitude, he already did it many times in PSG.

No doubt Al Hilal has a lot of money, they won't make it as a serious problem to lose Neymar. If it is needed, Al Hilal may remove Neymar from the squad soon, then they will pay for compensate. However, I think Al Hilal is still considering to get a better solution for Neymar. Not sure if Neymar still can be a part of Al Hilal squad.

While Al Nassr has many superstar players but they still want to hire more players to get better results and that's why Al Nassr is trying to send an offer for Emerson Royal and hire this player from Tottenham. Emerson Royal can be an interesting option for them but Tottenham rejected the offer for this player they said they can't accept the 23 million euros offer from Al Nassr for Emerson Royal.
