According to the newspaper As, citing Arriyadiyah and other Saudi media sources, Riyadh Crescent will cancel Neymar (removal from the registration list, which is equivalent to expulsion) in order to free up a foreign aid spot and reintroduce other stars in this winter window.
Born in 1992, Neymar began his football career with Brazilian giants Santos, winning the Copa Libertadores in 2011 and the Copa Survers' the following year.
In May 2013, Neymar joined La Liga giants Barcelona for a transfer fee of 88.4 million euros, helping them win 10 trophies in four seasons with Barcelona.
In the summer of 2017, Paris bought out Neymar's contract for 222 million euros, and the Brazilian began a six-year career in Paris. In those six years, Neymar has played a total of 173 games for the team, scoring 118 goals and providing 77 assists.
Ligue 1: 82 goals and 50 assists in 112 games;
Champions League: 22 goals and 17 assists in 41 games;
French Cup: 8 goals and 8 assists in 11 games;
French Super Cup: 3 games, 3 goals;
French League Cup: 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 games.
Although statistically, Neymar can average 0.68 goals and 0.45 assists per game, such a performance can definitely be worthy of the star player level. However, Neymar is a glass physique, he has missed at least one third of the games in Paris, and the player is more impatient, and the relationship between Neymar and the team director Campos and the core of the team Mbappe is very tense.
Of course, the inability of Paris with Neymar to win the Champions League was the main reason why the club's management finally decided to abandon the Brazilian star.
In the early morning of August 16, Beijing time, Saudi Arabian giants Riyadh Crescent officially announced the signing of Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar with a contract until June 2025.
Grand Paris officials also confirmed: "Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain to join the Saudi team Riyadh Crescent." In six seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazil international has put his name down in the club's history. Paris Saint-Germain would like to thank Neymar for his outstanding contribution, a legend of the club! ”
It is worth mentioning that Neymar has helped Paris win the Ligue 1 championship 5 times, the French Super Cup 4 times, the French Cup 3 times, and the French League Cup 2 times.
Riyadh Crescent has not been able to send Neymar to play immediately after signing him, and the Brazilian brother has spent most of his time recuperating from injuries and adjusting his physical condition. It wasn't until September 15, when Riyadh Crescent won 6-1 at home against Yadh Sporting in the sixth round of the Saudi Premier League, that Neymar came on as a substitute to make his debut for Crescent.
However, the good times were short-lived, and just a month later, Neymar suffered a serious injury. In the fourth round of the South American zone of the World Preliminary Championship on October 17, Neymar represented Brazil to challenge Uruguay away. During the game, Neymar collapsed after colliding with an opposing player, and was subsequently carried off the field on a stretcher for treatment. After the fact, Riyadh Crescent announced that Neymar had torn his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, and the season was reimbursed.
If Neymar actively cooperates with the treatment after the injury and recovers well, he may have one day to return to Riyadh to play, but the indiscipline of the South American players is once again vividly reflected in Neymar.
Neymar was repeatedly exposed to party frenziedly during his recuperation and even participated in poker tournaments. Brazilian media ridiculed that Neymar "has a broken body and is crazy on the dance floor".
Clearly, the Riyadh Crescent management have lost hope in Neymar and all they have to do now is remove Neymar to free up a foreign signing for this winter window.
According to the regulations of the Saudi Professional League, each team can only have a maximum of 8 foreign players. There are currently eight foreign players in the Riyadh Crescent team: Bounou, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Milinkovic, Neymar, Malcom, Mitrovic, Michael. Therefore, Riyadh Crescent will be able to sign a new foreign player only after the disqualification of Neymar.
It is worth mentioning that since Neymar joined Riyadh Crescent, he has only played 5 games for the team, including 3 appearances for Saudi Arabia and 2 appearances in the AFC Champions League, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists. However, even if Neymar is finally "fired" by Riyadh Crescent, he must still pay Neymar an annual salary of up to $100 million as usual. Neymar is really lying down to win a hundred million dollars!
