Is a real change-over seet in Saudi Arabia?
With Cristiano Ronaldo (39) and Neymar (32), two football superstars have been playing in the desert emirate for several years and are the faces of the league.While Ronaldo scores reliably at Al-Nassr (68 goals in 78 competitive matches), Neymar has been constantly struggling with injury problems since his move to Al-Hilal.Only on Monday, the Brazilian had to leave the field limping and be substituted at the AFC Champions match against Iranian club Esteghlal FC (3-0). Previously, he had been absent for over a year with a torn cruciate ligament.
As the Saudi journalist Walid Al-Farraj reports in his program “Action with Walid”, Al-Hilal Neymar would not put any stones in the way in the event of a possible departure in the winter transfer window.
According to this, the former Barcelona superstar will no longer be registered for the second half of the season. He is currently physically simply unable to play several games at a time.As a substitute, Al-Hilal could sign Ronaldo!
The club from the capital Riyadh is currently the heart of the billion-dollar Saudi football project. As the reigning champion and winner of the AFC Champions League 2021, the team participates in the reformed Club World Cup. The tournament will take place next year from 15. June to 13. July in the United States.With a departure of Neymar, Al-Hilal would probably be looking for a new top star. That’s why Ronaldo comes into play. The Portuguese is still hungry for titles, but has not yet been able to win a major title with Al-Nassr.Al-Hilal, on the other hand, is again at the top of the table and has won eight of nine league games so far. With the Saudi record champion, he could also play with his compatriots Ruben Neves (27) and Joao Cancelo (30).
