Al-Hilal are considering the termination of Neymar’s contract, according to Saudi outlet, Action Ma3 Waleed.
Neymar has endured an injury-ravaged spell with the club since he arrived in the summer of 2023.
The Brazilian forward cost the club a fee around €90million.

But Neymar picked up an ACL injury last year that saw him sidelined until recently.
The former Barcelona and PSG man made his comeback on October 21 against Al-Ain from the UAE.
However, Neymar pulled up injured once more a few days ago just 30 minutes after coming off the bench during an AFC Champions League win versus Esteghlal.
Al-Hilal are now thinking about terminating Neymar’s two-year contract prematurely in January.
Neymar has been linked to a reunion with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.
In other news, the incoming manager of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, joked that he would be seen as “the new Sir Alex Ferguson” if his Sporting CP side defeats Manchester City.
Both sides face each other in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Amorim has already been announced as Erik ten Hag’s replacement, but will officially begin work at Old Trafford from November 11.
The Red Devils have won only four matches from 14 in all competitions so far.
As such, the expectations on Amorim are already high.
Speaking to the media, Amorim said: “I don’t think about that [increasing United fans’ expectations].
“My focus is on winning the match for Sporting. The conclusions are not important for me because they could be erroneous.
“If we win tomorrow they will think the new Alex Ferguson has arrived.
“That will be very difficult to live up to. It could increase expectations. I don’t think about that.”
