Neymar Ends Santos Drought with First Goal in Comeback, Breaks 14-Month Dry Spell

He ended his contract with the Saudi club in late January and decided to come back home.

Neymar spent 18 months with Al Hilal after joining from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023 on a deal that enriched him by a reported 100 million euros ($103m) a season.

Neymar played five games for them before suffering a serious knee injury playing for Brazil.

After a year out, he returned last October and made two more appearances for Al Hilal, only to suffer a hamstring tear.
