They don't only have Neymar in their club and so far Mitrovic is their best scorer and he is competing with Cristiano Ronaldo and some players for a best scorer award in Saudi Professional League this season.
Neymar is a great attacking player and he can provide a lot of creativeness for Al Hilal attacking system but without him, Al Hilal was already a big club and will be a big competitor in Saudi Professional League. His injury is unlucky for him and Al Hilal but they will move onward well without Neymar.
Well.. you know that Neymar has been deregistered by Al Hilal, right? Jorge Jesus decided to deregister him as only 8 positions are maximum available in the Saudi Professional League for each club. Unless they do that, they can't get a replacement player from outside Saudi Arabia. For all practical purposes, Neymar's stint in Saudi Arabia is over. None of the other clubs are going to show any interest in him, after what he did to Al Hilal. Anyway, yesterday he underwent surgery for his anterior cruciate ligament injury and I heard that it was successful.
Yeah even neymar was coming with a new look after ACL surgery. It seems like that al hilal will be hunting a new european player to replace him as a right winger.
https://talksport.com/football/1640884/neymar-drastic-new-look-al-hilal-acl-surgery/Jorse jesus has told al hilal to recruit osimhen. Hilal has already expressed its interest in recruiting Osimhen from Napoli, but unfortunately, the player himself has rejected the offer. It is my belief that, following Osimhen's decision to reject Al Hilal's interest, we will witness the rise of a new name in the football scene.
I can't imagine what it would be like if Osimhen accepted Al Hilal offer and the SPL would become even bigger with the names of talented players from europe.
but still Osimhen will not accept the offer before spending his career getting every prestigious title in europe so if Al Hilal really wants to get this player they have to wait a few seasons to come until Osmhine is old enough then Al Hilal can get him and I think Al Hilal doesn't need to look for players who have too much talent, there are other alternatives that we dont know about yet, but in the near future we can see the european players that Al Hilal will recruit.
The Saudi Arabian government is seen as a dictatorial government and they want to try to clean up their image a little, so they are bringing a lot of players to this league. I believe that they are not satisfied with old players who have come to the league, when I say that they probably should not be satisfied with just old players who show interest in playing in the Arab league and in the sense that they are seeing what the future of the league would be like if If they are only bringing in players who only have 3 or 4 years of career at most, in financial terms the Arabs can make a profit by continuing to do this.
But in terms of developing their football, this strategy will be a failure if it doesn't arouse the interest of young famous players and why won't good famous players play in Saudi Arabia? the answer is simple:
1 - in Europe they are in the most prestigious leagues
2- in Europe they earn a good salary and live in democratic countries where the laws work
3 - in Europe they have the possibility of winning individual prizes
while in Saudi Arabia:
1 - they will play in a league without much quality
2 - despite earning a lot of money they don't have freedom, players who have those defects of drinking a lot and sleeping with a lot of women won't be able to do that in Saudi Arabia. So it won't do much good if they make a lot of money that they won't be able to use like they do in Europe
That's why I highly doubt that famous young players will be interested in this league.
