It is well known that Saudi Arabian teams are interested in a number of Real Madrid players, with Vinicius Jr. being the most notable name on their want list.

Clubs in the Middle Eastern country are also showing interest in players like Thibaut Courtois, Luka Modric, and Antonio Rudiger.

Another Real Madrid player now seems to have surfaced as a target for a Saudi Pro League squad.

Will Rodrygo take Neymar’s place at Al Hilal? Journalist Rudy Galetti claims that Al Hilal has set their sights on Rodrygo Goes, an attacker for Real Madrid, as a possible replacement for Neymar at the end of the current campaign.

It is improbable that the Brazilian superstar would stay with the Saudi Arabian club after his contract expires this summer.

Al Hilal has therefore been busy coming up with plans and figuring out possible targets to take the place of the former Barcelona and PSG star.

One of the top contenders is Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, whose contract is up at the end of the current campaign. However, in an attempt to take advantage of Rodrygo’s relatively diminished popularity this season, Al Hilal has now added the 24-year-old to their wish list.

This season, Rodrygo has made 24 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring seven goals and dishing out four assists.

The Brazilian is frequently viewed as the scapegoat when manager Carlo Ancelotti chooses to open games with two strikers and four midfielders. He has only started 12 La Liga games and two UEFA Champions League games.

As a result, there have been rumors of annoyance and dissatisfaction, with many clubs keeping tabs on the forward’s circumstances. Al Hilal has also surfaced as a possible summer suitor for Rodrygo.

Unless Rodrygo requests to leave, Real Madrid is unlikely to open the door for his departure on their own. Even in that case, the attacker’s contract expires in 2028, so the Merengues will probably have to pay a hefty price to let him go.
