Key Players in Al-Hilal SFC
In the ROSHN Saudi Pro League, the top three rated players for Al-Hilal SFC are Neymar Jr, João Cancelo, and Sergej Milinković-Savić. They have shown excellent performance and remarkable skills both in the team and globally.
Neymar Jr
As a Brazilian professional footballer, Neymar signed with Al-Hilal SFC in 2023. However, shortly after signing, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and had to stay off the field for a year. He finally returned to play as a substitute for Al-Hilal SFC in the AFC Champions League match against Al Ain.
He is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation, known for his exceptional dribbling, attacking skills, and finishing ability. Neymar is one of the few players to score at least 100 goals for three different clubs. He is also the top-scoring Brazilian in the UEFA Champions League and the all-time leading scorer for Brazil.
During his time with Al-Hilal SFC, he has made 6 appearances and scored 1 goal. We believe he will continue to make more contributions to Al-Hilal SFC in the future, showcasing his skills as a renowned star player.
João Cancelo

On July 12, 2023, Al Hilal announced a three-year contract with Milinković-Savić, with a reported transfer fee of €40 million. He is a versatile midfielder capable of playing multiple roles. He helped Al Hilal win the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League, King Cup, and Saudi Super Cup.
