In an interview with the FIFA website, striker Neymar, from Al-Hilal, hinted that he does not plan on playing for Flamengo next season. The Brazilian star said that he hopes to defend the Arab club in the 2025 Club World Cup, a tournament in which Mengão is qualified. In other words, the rumor of Neymar at Gávea should not come true.

“It is an honor for me to play in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup defending Al-Hilal. The best clubs in the world and the best athletes will be there and, obviously, it is a place where Al-Hilal and my teammates deserve to be. The expectations for the competition are high and I'm sure I'll be ready to represent our fans”, said Neymar.


However, there is a problem for Neymar to compete in this competition for Al-Hilal: his contract ends at the end of June 2025. On the other hand, the competition is scheduled to take place between June 15th and July 13th, 2025. Therefore, to finish the World Cup playing for the Arabs, the striker will have to increase his contract.


Neymar opened his heart to Flamengo on Fla TV

“I always said that, right? Obviously Flamengo is my second favorite team. The first is Santos, with all due respect to the team that raised me, I've been a fan since I was little. But I have a great affection and it is obvious that it would be a great pleasure if one day I could play here. No one knows the future”, said the player to the official red-black channel.


Athlete watched Mengão's last game at Maracanã

In the match in which Flamengo beat Grêmio 2-1, Neymar was at Maracanã to watch the match. The invitation was made by Gabigol. After the final whistle, the star went to Tite's dressing room and spoke to athletes such as David Luiz, Everton Cebolinha and Bruno Henrique. All of these mentioned, Neymar has already played together in the Brazilian team.
