The amount will not exceed 7.5 million euros
Al-Hilalis expected to receive from FIFA financial compensation for damage caused by injury to the Brazilian striker Neymarwhich he received in the South American qualification match for the 2026 World Cup.
According to FIFA rules, a player’s injury during a FIFA match may result in compensation for his club if the player does not return to the field within 28 days. Obviously this is the case for Neymar, who will be out for several months.
The amount that Al-Hilal can claim is 7.5 million euros. It is disproportionate to the costs of the Saudi club on the transfer and salary of the Brazilian. According to preliminary information, PSG received 90 million euros for the forward, and the player’s salary will be about 300 million over two years.
Let us remind you that Neymar suffered a knee injury in a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay (0:2). The Brazilian striker was substituted late in the first half and left the field in tears on a stretcher.
He was subsequently diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his knee, as well as anterior cruciate ligament injury. The star Brazilian will undergo surgery and then a recovery program. Neymar called this moment “the worst of his life.”
The footballer moved to Al-Hilal in mid-August. This season, the 31-year-old striker has played only 5 matches for Al-Hilal, in which he scored one goal and gave three assists.
