A Saudi delegation has landed in France in recent days in the hope of making a big splash. But it is not OM that is targeted by these emissaries, who want to convince Neymar to sign from PSG.
Still looking for a big star to emulate their rival clubs, who have managed to sign Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema, Al Hilal are currently doing their utmost to sign Neymar. Between Saudi Arabia and France, the story is just beginning. After bringing Karim Benzema into its championship, the Gulf country now dreams of carrying out a new operation related to French football. Not necessarily in Marseille, where rumors of the OM Sale have started again with renewed vigor in recent days with the potential takeover of Frank McCourt’s Marseille club by Saudis, but rather in Paris.
Indeed, according to information from the Italian media TMW, the Al Hilal club is in negotiations with Neymar. In recent days, the president of the Arab club was even present in Europe to try to make this deal. There is no doubt that this rapprochement was made with the agreement of PSG. Despite the differences between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the desire to indicate the exit to the Brazilian and find him a new club is real, and the former prodigy of Santos could well give in to the solicitations of a country which invests very widely in football in recent months.

Failing to recover Lionel Messi, who refused an alleged billion-euro contract from Saudi Arabia to continue his MLS career at Inter Miami, the country’s most successful team also wants its star . Ittihad having Karim Benzema, Al-Nassr having Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Hilal want to grow the Saudi Pro League in their own way by bringing in Neymar. For this, the Saudi investment fund has put the small dishes in the big ones by preparing a contract of 200 million euros per season for the Brazilian striker. A lease that could please Neymar, even if he sees himself rather staying in Europe and more precisely in his Paris club to try to win another Champions League. A competition that the former Barça crack will not be able to win and of course not even compete in Saudi Arabia, but the PIF will continue its undermining work to try to get Neymar out of Paris before the end of this summer transfer window. For the moment, the progress is still long, but the Saudi forcing is real.
