While the trend sent him more recently to FC Barcelona, Neymar is now in “advanced discussions” with Al-Hilal, and could quickly join Saudi Arabia.
Decidedly, things are moving very quickly at Paris Saint-Germain. While the presence of a smiling Kylian Mbappé at the Parc des Princes has revived the possibility of a contract extension for the Bondynois, it is around Neymar Jr that everything is panicking.
In recent days, the trend has been towards a termination agreement between PSG and their player, so that the Brazilian can return to FC Barcelona. But on Saturday evening, late at night, Abdellah Boulma and Fabrizio Romano echoed a push from Al-Hilal to recover the former Santos wonderkid.
Al-Hilal 🇸🇦 is pushing hard to try to enlist Neymar. Ongoing negotiations with PSG. Neymar does not close the door to a departure.

Neymar would be ” tent “ by this possibility, and the transfer would be in “advanced discussions”, with essentially the ball in the player’s court. He would have received a “huge offer” while, for its part, the PSG would have received a ” very beautiful “ proposal from the Saudi club, according to France Bleu.
For PSG, this outcome would be the best possible, with a good cash flow, savings on Neymar’s XXL salary, and a departure that does not strengthen another European club. For Neymar, the choice of the heart would go away, but the economic aspect is obviously to be taken into account, between the great difficulties of Barça on this plan and the financial omnipotence of the Saudi clubs.
The third option for Neymar was MLS, and it tended to interest the Brazilian, but the North American transfer window has been closed since August 2, which made any arrival impossible for this summer. It was the Los Angeles Galaxy who was in the running, says France Bleu.
