After six seasons at PSG, Neymar is about to sign a monstrous contract with Saudi club Al-Hilal.

The end of the story between Neymar and PSG is now close. After reaching an agreement with the Al-Hilal club regarding the transfer fee, the French champions have authorized their 31-year-old Brazilian striker to agree with the Saudi formation. The former Santos prodigy must even pass his medical examination this Monday in Paris, the last step before the formalization of his transfer.

A transfer which should bring around 120 million euros to Paris Saint-Germain, according to Saudi sources relayed by Foot Mercato. For its part, the “Ney” would not be outdone either. By joining the Saudi pro League, the Brazilian international should receive a salary of between 300 and 400 million euros over two years.

Neymar wants the same salary as Benzema

The native of Mogi das Cruzes would have asked for emoluments equivalent to those of Karim Benzema, who receives nearly 200 million euros a year at Al-Ittihad, as well as to keep control of his image rights. This is a much higher sum than that announced by the regional daily Le Parisien, which evokes a salary of 100 million euros per year for Neymar in Saudi Arabia.
