Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal says it has reached an agreement with Brazilian striker Neymar to terminate their contract by mutual consent.

Following the contract termination, Neymar is set to return to Brazilian club Santos, where he first broke out in the soccer world, soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported Monday.

Neymar's injury-hit stint at Al Hilal ends as the Brazilian star edges closer to a nostalgic return to his boyhood club Santos, bringing hope for a revival of his career in Brazil's top-flight football.
