Al Hilal

<p>The Portuguese superstar has been in the Middle East since early 2023, when he completed a stunning move to Al-Nassr on the back of seeing his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ronaldo-on-purpose-man-utd-exit-strategy-stam-handled-better/blt9b32129c6b01c4a3 " target="_blank">contract terminated at Premier League giants Manchester United</a>. His presence has helped to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-earns-twice-as-much-lionel-messi-record-breaking-financial-figures-al-nassr-inter-miami-forbes/bltb55809193539bb44" target="_blank">raise the profile and appeal of sport in the region</a>.</p>

The latter is now on the books of Al-Hilal, where he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-neymar-lethal-11-month-injury-nightmare-brazil-superstar-top-corner-al-hilal-forward-return-action/bltee510f4f8a81956b " target="_blank">working his way back from a serious knee injury</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With no competitive game time on his schedule at present, Neymar has been taking the opportunity to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-neymar-going-come-play-arsenal-boxing-promoter-frank-warren-transfer-agent-gunners/blt48fc29929923cb19 " target="_blank">experience live action across other events</a>. He recently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/neymar-confirms-reunion-ex-girlfriend-mother-daughter-bruna-biancardi-loved-up-instagram-post/blte2663db627286b4d" target="_blank">attended the boxing extravaganza headlined by undisputed light-heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev</a>, before swapping ringside seats for courtside ones.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Neymar has been a regular at the ‘6 Kings Slam’ tennis event in Riyadh. When making a public appearance at the end of Rafael Nadal’s defeat to fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, Brazil’s all-time leading scorer was jeered by some of those at The Venue – while chants of “Ronaldo, Ronaldo” could be heard in the crowd.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Ronaldo is still going strong with Al-Nassr at 39 years of age, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/proud-cristiano-ronaldo-thanks-man-utd-golden-boot-record-al-nassr-superstar-more-goalscoring-history/bltd1a95d73f71bd357" target="_blank">50 goals recorded last season</a> as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-900-goal-cristiano-ronaldo-wont-give-up-any-time-soon-al-nassr-superstar-enjoying-hero-worship-portugal/blt3ef911d4983909aa " target="_blank">chases down 1,000 in total across his remarkable career</a>. Neymar is yet to make a similar impression, with the South American playmaker seeing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/neymar-back-brazilian-superstar-return-al-hilal-training-acl-injury-ex-psg-barcelona-sensation-faces-months-out/blt934d83fc272df2e6 " target="_blank">injury restrict him to just five appearances</a> for reigning Pro League champions Al-Hilal.</p>
