While the focus remains on Neymar’s return to the pitch, his $418 million dollar move to Al Hilal is not without its controversies and speculations. Recently, iconic Liverpool veteran Steve Nicol raised questions about Neymar’s career trajectory. He pondered, “Is Neymar’s time really just gone?”

Moreover, he pointed out the intriguing circumstances of Neymar’s move from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Al Hilal. Nicol’s take was clear: “This is a guy who nobody wanted to sign from PSG.
