Neymar is one of the most outstanding players in the world. The Al Hilal team is having a great season at the moment. Neymar and his team are in first place in the Saudi Pro League. Despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr are getting dangerously close to the top positions. Therefore, things are getting better and better for the teams.
Similarly, Neymar delayed his debut with the Saudi League team a bit. Before his debut, the player was injured for a couple of months. This injury, it seems, came directly from Paris Saint-Germain. Despite the fact that the player played the pre-season in Japan, it seems that his decision to move to Saudi Arabia was influenced by the business model that began with Ronaldo's arrival in the Middle Eastern country. Al Hilal reportedly paid up to $90 million for the player.
In the face of the delay, many fans speculated that the Brazilian simply didn't want to play. Even coach Jorge Jesus himself indicated that he did not understand why Neymar had been called up to Brazil if he was supposed to be injured. On the other hand, Jr traveled to Brazil and broke the record as the top scorer of the Verdeamarelha, even surpassing Pelé. After his return, everything seems to indicate that the controversy continued.
According to national and international media, Neymar and Jesus had an argument after Al Hilal's draw in their AFC Champions League debut. The Arab team tied the game in the last minutes. In the face of this, Neymar's attitude and performance was not the best. Therefore, it seemed that there was controversy just a few weeks after his arrival in the Arab country.
FIFA would have to pay Al Hilal for Neymar's injury
Similarly, FIFA would have to take responsibility for Neymar's injury. After his injury with Brazil, it became known that the diagnosis is really serious. Everything seems to indicate that the player will be out for up to 8 months due to his anterior cruciate ligament injury. This was confirmed later on by the Arab team itself.
According to Goal, FIFA would have to pay him up to $8m for Neymar's injury. This is due to the fact that FIFA has an insurance policy that covers any team where one of its players is injured in international duty. The FIFA Club Protection Programme has to cover from 28 days' salary up to 1 year.
