“The Saudis.. Will be Suspicious” – Terrible Neymar Update Could Upset His Al Hilal Bosses After $418,000,000 Deal, Claims Popular Journalist

Brazil registered a second victory in their 2026 World Cup qualifier campaign. However, Neymar unfortunately failed to make his illustrious influence in the game. Following the match, a journalist highlighted the PSG star’s international engagement could pose a potential concern for his newly signed Saudi club.

The 126-capped Brazilian international joined Al Hilal with a ground-breaking $418 million deal this season. Additionally, Neymar had not yet played his debut match due to the international break. In this instance, the well-known reporter asserted that any injury update prior to his game would not bode well for his new club in the upcoming fixtures.

What did the journalist remark about Neymar Jr?

Juca Kfouri, the renowned journalist, regarded Selecao’s interim coach, who opposed Neymar’s participation in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. The Brazilian icon played in the team against Peru, even though Fernando Diniz had a different plan for the squad. On this occasion, Kfouri quoted, “If he gets injured, the Saudis, no matter how generous they are with money and jewellery, will be suspicious.”

Apparently, Neymar made an underwhelming performance in the game. He was unable to impose sharpness on the final third of the field after becoming the leading goal scorer of the nation. Moreover, the ex-Barca star expressed concern about the pitch conditions following the game. It could have been a major factor for potential injury issues during this brief international break. Furthermore, Brazil scrapped to their second win in the South American qualifiers at Lima’s national stadium.

Brazil snatches a win against Peru in the dying minutes of the game

The Selecao eked out a 1-0 win against Peru after a lackluster performance throughout the match. As a result, Brazil moved six points clear of Argentina and Uruguay in the World Cup qualifier standings. The interim coach’s strategy to dominate position with Raphinha and Richarlison was undone by VAR as both players had goals ruled out for an offside decision.

It wasn’t until the 90th-minute corner that broke the deadlock with a header from Marquinhos. Brazil created many opportunities in the final quarter of the game where Rodrygo was a thorn in Peru’s side. However, the 5x World Cup champions were over-reliant on Neymar in the second half of the game. This was evident with his lack of consistency in generating scoring opportunities until the final minute of the match.
