NEYMAR is at risk of having his contract ripped up by Al-Hilal, according to reports.
The superstar has struggled since his blockbuster move to Saudi Arabia.
He has been hit by injuries with an ACL tear keeping him sidelined for a year.
Neymar, 32, made a return to action last month but featured in just two matches, for a grand total of 42 minutes, before picking up another injury.
He has now been ruled out for three weeks with a muscle problem.
And now Al-Hilal are considering getting rid of the Brazilian in January, six months before his contract expires, according to Brazilian outlet .

Al-Hilal splashed £77.6million on Neymar but could be keen to get rid of his astronomical salary, understood to be worth £2.5m-a-week.
If Neymar leaves he could return to Brazil, and possibly to Santos where he began his career.
Al-Hilal club chiefs have been left frustrated and "fed up" with some of his off-field behaviour, with a club source revealing of it had been seen as "unprofessional" - a suggestion Neymar is yet to respond to.
During his time out Neymar focused on things off the pitch, adding to his property portfolio by buying a £7m private island off the coast of Brazil.
