Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal are reportedly contemplating a bold move to end Neymar’s contract and replace him with Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Sport. The potential decision reflects Al Hilal’s concerns over Neymar's recent injury history, with the club now reluctant to include him in their January roster. Neymar’s recurring fitness issues have raised doubts within the club about his long-term impact, despite the €90 million spent to bring him from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year.
