Neymar’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has closed down rumors about the Brazilian star taking off Al-Hilal for Santos. Despite speculation about his return to his boyhood club, Zahavi demands Neymar is happy in Saudi Arabia. Right now sidelined with injury, Neymar will miss Al-Hilal’s upcoming match.
Key Highlights
- Neymar’s agent confirms he’s staying at Al-Hilal.
- Transfer rumors to Santos club denied.
- Currently injured, and missing the next match.
What’s the Story?
Some people thought Neymar might leave his current team, Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, to return to his first-ever group, Santos, in Brazil. But his agent, Pini Zahavi, says that’s not genuine at all. In truth, Neymar is exceptionally happy with his current group and has no plans to take off.

What Did Neymar’s Agent Say?
According to Fabrizio Romano, Zahavi talked about Neymar’s transfer. “Neymar is happy where he is,” says Zahavi. “He’s not planning to leave Al-Hilal.” Zahavi made it clear that only he and Neymar’s father can talk about where Neymar will play next. This explanation came after rumors spread that Neymar conceivably returning to his hometown club.
A Different Opinion
However, reporter Cesar Luis Merlo talked about Neymar. He posted on X, “Neymar’s agent publicly denies what Santos said. I stand by every word I have published. Thank God, in Brazil people know how I work. As has happened so many times, time will put things in their place.”
Current Circumstance
Right now, Neymar is focusing on getting better from his hamstring injury. He won’t be able to play in Al-Hilal’s upcoming game against Al-Khaleej this Saturday. Instead, he’ll be observing and supporting his group from the sidelines while he continues to recover.

The soccer world will be observing closely to see what happens next. For now, agreeing to his agent, Neymar remains committed to Al-Hilal and his future in Saudi Arabian soccer.
Keep in mind, that Neymar began his astonishing soccer travel at Santos more than a decade prior, which is why numerous fans got energized around the possibility of his return. But for now, it looks just like the Brazilian star is remaining right where he is – with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
