Neymar has left al-Hilal! 

The Brazilian star had his contract with the Saudi club terminated by mutual consent, after injuries limited him to just 7 appearances since joining them in 2023.

Reports claim that Casemiro could be close to leaving Manchester United. 

It's believed that he's being targeted by Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, where he would be reunited with former United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
