Al-Hilal Targets Rodrygo as Neymar’s Replacement

According to reports from AS, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal has set its sights on Real Madrid’s winger Rodrygo. The club is reportedly looking to fill the void left by Neymar, whose contract was terminated in late January.

Al-Hilal is said to be enticing the 24-year-old Brazilian with attractive financial terms and the promise of a leading role as the club’s main star – a status he currently doesn’t enjoy at Real Madrid.

Rodrygo has been a part of Real Madrid since 2019. During his tenure with the Spanish giants, he has made 245 appearances, scoring 67 goals and providing 47 assists. According to Transfermarkt, the player’s current market value stands at an impressive 100 million euros.

The potential move could mark a significant shift in Rodrygo’s career, offering him a chance to step out of the shadows at Real Madrid and into a starring role at Al-Hilal. However, it remains to be seen whether the allure of Saudi football and financial incentives will be enough to tempt the young Brazilian away from one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
