Doubts are clouding Brazilian icon’s career following Brazil’s 1-1 draw against Venezuela

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. [His] timing was just lucky that the Saudi League started. Otherwise, he’d still be at PSG, stuck. I’m sorry, but maybe this guy’s time in the limelight could be over…”

Likewise, the 61-year-old’s comments alluded to the idea that Neymar’s transfer coincided with the rise of the Saudi League, potentially changing the course of his career. As Neymar readies himself for the upcoming match against Uruguay, soccer fans will watch with anticipation to see what the future holds for this talented Brazilian star and his club, Al Hilal.
