Brazilian star Neymar Jr has finally put pen to paper at Al-Hilal in a whooping (£129.2m) a year deal, in Saudi Arabia. This deal will earn Neymar six times the amount he earned at PSG having signed a two-year contract.
The Brazilian made 173 appearances for PSG, helping the club win 13 trophies, including five Ligue 1 titles, as well as reaching the 2020 Champions League final.
“It is always difficult to say goodbye to an amazing player like Neymar, one of the best players in the world, said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG’s president and chief executive.
“I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris St-Germain, and what he has contributed to our club and our project over the last six years.”
Neymar will join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo the man who opened the door to the mass exodus of players from Europe to the Saudi Arabian league. He will play alongside Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez, Robert Firmino and many other star players
