The Brazilian's contract with Al Hilal ends in the summer, and the club has no intentions of renewing it.

Neymar Júnior, one of the most influential soccer players of recent times, has left an indelible mark on fans across the globe despite significant injuries throughout his career. Recently, speculation has linked him with a potential move to MLS from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, and new developments have emerged this Wednesday.
