The 32-year-old had only just returned from a year out of action due to an ACL tear, leading to speculation that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/al-hilal-will-not-register-neymar-second-half-saudi-pro-league-season-damaged-brazilian-deemed-drain-on-club/blt775494ca1538e9cb" target="_blank">Al-Hilal could look to terminate his current contract</a> which is set to expire in the summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The ex-Barcelona and PSG star has already been linked with several clubs including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tata-martino-neymar-inter-miami-impossible-mls-salary-cap/bltd5f0b3aeb9525580" target="_blank">Lionel Messi's Inter Miami</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/neymar-santos-brazilian-star-opens-talks-with-al-hilal-over-january-exit/blt7b99d2644e537ab2" target="_blank">former club Santos</a>. Neymar has now spoken about his future, as he helped to officially launch Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2024 World Cup, and claimed he is still happy at Al-Hilal.</p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"I think it’s one of the best projects I’ve ever seen.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He said: "The opportunity to play here and live in a country like this is very important for people. That’s why I always say that I was very well received here. I’m very happy and I’m sure it will only get better. I’m sure other stars will come here. I believe that many will have the opportunity to come here, and I think that everyone should have the opportunity to experience what I have experienced here."</p>

WHAT NEYMAR SAID

<p>Al-Hilal enjoyed an unbeaten Saudi Pro League season last year, winning the title by 16 points, despite being without Neymar due to injury for virtually the entire campaign.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Neymar is not due to return to action with Al-Hilal until December and his future is likely to generate plenty of headlines in the meantime. As things stand, he is able to negotiate with other clubs and sign a pre-contract from January 2025. Santos president Marcelo Teixeira has already admitted <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/santos-ready-offer-neymar-concrete-project-club-president-talks-up-connection-brazil-superstar-al-hilal-exit-talk/blt7e67b68dc969a45a#csf2d4636ad77e59a3" target="_self">his club have "a concrete project" for Neymar</a> if his contract at Al-Hilal is cancelled.</p>
