On Monday night the Saudi club announced on social networks the departure of Neymar, which entered the team in August 2023 after leaving the French PSG for a multimillion -dollar contract. Since then, injuries have prevented him from jumping practically to the field. About 60 games have been lost. He has only played seven meetings in which he has given three assists and scored a goal. This same Monday the Brazilian has said goodbye to his previous club and his Saudi fans with a message in which he says: “I gave everything to play, hopefully we would have enjoyed better moments together in the field.”
