The technician Jorge Jesus faces a dilemma about the future of Neymar in Al-Hilal. While he wants to count on the star in the Champions of Asia and the Club World Cup, scheduled for the middle of the year, the coach has doubts about the Brazilian's registration< /b> in the Saudi Championship. This is because the club has already filled the maximum quota of foreign players allowed by the league.
In an interview with the 'ge' portal, former Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus was clear in exposing the complexity< /b> of the situation:
"If he stays out of the league, I'll count on him for the two other competitions we're going to have, which are the Asian Champions League and the World Cup. Now, I don't know if he'll accept it or not.
Neymar out of the local league?
Last Thursday (15), during a press conference, the coach had already signaled that Neymar could only remain registered in the Asian Champions League. This decision, however, would drastically reduce the striker's number of matches until the end of the season. Jorge Jesus also mentioned the physical challenges that the Brazilian faces after 15 months away due to injuries:
"It's not keeping up physically. A player who has been injured for 15 months, whether in Saudi Arabia, Brazil or anywhere in the world, has difficulty recovering in competition. it gets harder. And he You know that perfectly well.”
Also according to the coach, the difficulty of removing one of the eight foreigners registered in the squad weighs on the decision:
"Right now, taking a player out of Al-Hilal's eight foreign players is difficult to do."
Transfer speculation
In recent days, rumors have emerged that Neymar could leave Al-Hilal, with MLS clubs showing interest. Inter Miami, which already has Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, was cited as a possible destination for the Brazilian. Chicago Fire also appeared to be interested.
Despite the uncertainties, Jorge Jesus highlighted the importance of Neymar for the Al-Hilal project:
"I would like him to be with me in the Champions League and the World Cup. But, from now, things don't just happen to me. They depend on the PIF (Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund), the administration and, obviously, his too."
Neymar also had his name linked to Flamengo recently. According to journalist Bruno Andrade, Mais Querido has already started to develop a technical and financial plan to complete the signing of the Brazilian national team star.
Victory over Internacional in the Libertadores puts Mengão above the main teams in European football, such as the Spanish team and the French champions.
