Neymar will leave Al-Hilal and they have set their sights on his compatriot, Rodrygo Goes, to replace him in Jorge Jesus's team attack
The threat from Saudi Arabia remains latent for Real Madrid. From the Middle East, they have set their sights on the White House in search of stars to elevate the quality of the local league, with Al-Ahli, for example, offering completely outrageous figures to convince Vinicius Jr. to join their ranks.
However, the insistence of the Asians would not be limited solely to the '7' merengue, as journalist Rudy Galetti has reported that Al-Hilal would also want a Madrid star. The team of Jorge Jesus considers Neymar Jr. lost, who after an unfruitful stint in the Saudi Pro League will soon leave the club, and they have set their sights on Rodrygo Goes to replace him in the squad.
Rodrygo has taken a back seat at Madrid
The Brazilian winger has seen his role in the team led by Carlo Ancelotti become complementary after the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, so from the Arabian Peninsula, they seek to take advantage of this opportunity to try to bring him to Riyadh and take over 'Ney's' position in the attack.
However, Al-Hilal would not only be pursuing Rodrygo. Mohamed Salah, whose contract with Liverpool ends at the end of the season, is also on the Asians' agenda, who would have the signing of the Egyptian within reach since he could arrive as a free agent. However, the Saudi team is seriously considering the possibility of making a splash with the signing of Goes, whose transfer could reach record numbers in the market.
