Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal is facing a complicated dilemma with Neymar. The Brazilian star, who signed a two-year contract in August 2023 with an option for a third after leaving PSG, has been unable to prove his worth on the field due to a new injury that will keep him inactive for a long period. Despite the frustration of his absence, terminating the contract of the 32-year-old player could have serious consequences for the Saudi club.

They could face a year without being able to sign players if they dismiss Neymar

As reported by 'MundoDeportivo,' FIFA regulations stipulate that breaking a contract without justified cause in the "protected period" can result in sporting sanctions. For players over 28 years old, this period is two years, so Al Hilal would still be within that window with Neymar. This means that if they choose to terminate the contract, they would be prohibited from registering new players in the next two transfer windows, affecting both the local and international markets.

Moreover, terminating the contract would entail a significant compensation for Neymar, considering his high annual salary of 160 million euros. This would represent a minimum outlay of 80 million euros until the end of this season. For Al Hilal, any attempt to part ways with Neymar would not only have a strong economic impact but also limit their ability to strengthen in the upcoming year.
