Neymar joined Riyadh Crescent from Paris Saint-Germain this summer for a transfer fee of 90 million euros. Soon after joining Crescent, Neymar suffered a serious injury and was out for the season. On November 10, the newspaper "As" quoted Arriyadiyah and other Saudi media as saying that the new moon will cancel Neymar (removed from the registration list) and bring in new signings in the winter window.
It has to be said that PSG made a good deal. Selling Neymar to Riyadh Crescent for 90 million euros, purging problem players, and also reaping huge sums of money. Riyadh Crescent thought it had found a treasure, but in fact it was a huge loss. Saudi League made 3 appearances, 2 appearances in the AFC Champions League, and Neymar made 5 appearances for the Crescent, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists.
On October 17, in the 4th round of the South American zone of the World Preliminaries, Brazil played away against Uruguay. Neymar suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, and the season was reimbursed.
After his injury, Neymar continued to participate in poker tournaments and party. In the words of the Brazilian media, Neymar "has a broken body and is crazy on the dance floor".
Neymar is out for the season and Riyadh Crescent is ready to look for a replacement. The newspaper As, citing Arriyadiyah, revealed that Crescent decided to write off Neymar and free up one foreign player to bring in a left winger in the winter window, which is also the idea of Crescent coach Jorge Jesus.
According to the regulations of the Saudi Vocational League, each team can have a maximum of 8 foreign players. In the Riyadh Crescent team, there are a total of 8 foreign players: Bounou, Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Milinkovic, Neymar, Malcom, Mitrovic, Michael. After the cancellation of Neymar's qualification, Riyadh Crescent can free up one place.
Of course, Crescent still has to pay Neymar's $100 million annual salary as usual, and FIFA's one-year cap of 7.5 million euros ($8 million) in injury subsidies is just a drop in the bucket.
In January next year, the winter window of the Saudi league opens, and Riyadh Crescent is ready to spend money on people. As the most willing club in the Saudi Professional League, Crescent introduced seven strong foreign players in the summer window, with a total investment of a staggering 350 million euros. This winter, the left winger of the European powerhouse will be the object of the crescent's desire.
