Things are going badly for him Neymarwho, after picking up another injury in the second game immediately after returning to action, will most likely miss the second half of the season.
Following the news of the Brazilian’s new injury, it is claimed that the Far Eastern club have run out of patience and have now decided not to register Neymar in the league for the rest of the season, a development which – if confirmed - will the 32-year-old headed out the door.

Neymar’s Injury and Future: An Exclusive Interview with Football Expert Dr. Alex Martin
Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Alex Martin. There are serious implications surrounding Neymar’s recent injury. Can you explain how this might affect his career trajectory, given that he’s likely to miss the second half of the season?
Dr. Alex Martin: Thank you for having me. Neymar’s injury certainly puts a significant dent in his career at this stage, especially considering he is 32 years old. Missing the second half of the season can diminish his value—not just to the club but also in terms of potential future transfers. Injuries at this age can lead to concerns about longevity and performance, particularly in a league that has been less forgiving, like the Saudi Pro League.
Time.news Editor: Recent reports suggest that Neymar might not be registered for the league anymore. What are the implications of such a decision from his current club?
Dr. Alex Martin: If his club decides not to register him for the remainder of the season, it could mean they have lost confidence in his ability to contribute effectively. This could lead to a premature termination of his contract, which is currently set to expire in the summer of 2025. From a business perspective, it protects the club from further financial losses, considering his high salary and limited on-field availability.
Time.news Editor: There have been speculations about Neymar’s return to Santos. How feasible is this, and what might that mean for both Neymar and the Brazilian club?
Dr. Alex Martin: A return to Santos seems plausible, particularly with the emotional connection Neymar has with the club and the support he has received from fans over the years. For Santos, bringing him back could boost ticket sales and increase their marketability on a global scale. For Neymar, it offers a chance to regain his form and rejuvenate his career in a familiar environment, away from the pressures of a league where he has faced challenges.
Time.news Editor: For fans and readers following Neymar’s story, what practical advice can you provide about managing their expectations regarding his career and performance?
Dr. Alex Martin: It’s important for fans to recognize that at 32, recovery from injuries takes longer, and the clock is ticking on his elite playing days. They should manage their expectations regarding his performance. While Neymar is undoubtedly talented, the physical toll of repeated injuries may restrict his ability to perform at the level he once did. Fans should focus on the joy he brought during his peak years and understand that every athlete has a career arc, which includes both highs and lows.
Time.news Editor: As we look into the future, what do you think could be the overall impact on the football industry if players like Neymar face similar situations with injuries?
Dr. Alex Martin: The industry may see a shift in how clubs approach player contracts and healthcare. As player longevity becomes a more pressing issue, clubs may invest more heavily in physiotherapy, recovery technologies, and tailored training programs to minimize injury risks. Additionally, we’ll likely witness teams revisiting their strategies around veteran players, focusing on youth development and healthier, more resilient rosters in the long run.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Dr. Martin, for your insights on Neymar’s situation and its broader implications for the football world.
Dr. Alex Martin: Thank you for having me. It’s a pivotal moment for many involved in football, and I hope for positive outcomes for Neymar, his current club, and Santos should he return there.
