Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal has its eyes set on Mohamed Salah as the big name who could fill the void left by Neymar in their squad. Following a new injury to the Brazilian star, which will keep him sidelined for several weeks, the Saudi club is considering terminating his contract in January, a decision that has surprised many.
Al Hilal's intention would be to sign Salah not only to take on Neymar's role but also to allow the Egyptian forward to shine in the upcoming Club World Cup.
Salah, who has had an impressive start to the season with Liverpool, has already scored nine goals and provided nine assists under the guidance of Arne Slot, making him an ideal target for the Saudis. However, Liverpool fans are anxious about the possibility of losing their top star, as Salah is crucial in the team's offensive scheme and remains a key player for the English side.
Neymar, Moving Further Away from Al Hilal
On the other hand, Neymar's time at Al Hilal seems to have become more complicated than expected. Since his arrival in the summer of 2023, injuries have been a constant issue, limiting his involvement with the team and questioning the club's substantial investment. With a contract worth around 100 million euros annually, his poor performance and frequent absences due to physical problems have led Al Hilal to contemplate this drastic decision.
The outcome regarding the future of Salah and Neymar at Al Hilal will be crucial for the club, which aims to strengthen with an internationally renowned figure capable of competing at the highest level and regaining the trust of its fans.
