In search of the new star. For a year now, Al-Hilal has been trying to attract a big name from the football world. Last summer, the Saudi team tried to recruit Cristiano Ronaldo. But the Portuguese did not come in the end, he who joined Al Nassr during the winter. To respond to its competitor, Al-Hilal bent over backwards to get their hands on Lionel Messi this summer. At the end of the contract at PSG, the Argentinian was offered an XXL salary of 500 million euros. But after discussions with his relatives, in particular his wife, the 2022 world champion left for Inter Miami.
A huge salary
In check, the Saudi Pro League club did not give up, especially since other teams like Al-Ittihad (Karim Benzema), Al Nassr (Sadio Mané) or Al-Alhi (Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez ) have strengthened. And he was right to believe it. As revealed on our site, Al-Hilal is about to offer Neymar Jr. Pushed towards the exit to PSG, the Brazilian wanted to join FC Barcelona. But Xavi like Deco (sports director) were not thrilled. MLS also tested the waters without going any further. Same thing for the Premier League where Mauricio Pochettino did not want Ney at Chelsea and MU were waiting for a sale of the club to Qatar to take action.
All this made the business of Al-Hilal who rushed into the breach and convinced the Neymar clan. The Brazilian will sign for two seasons. We are talking about an amount of 100 million euros. Sources close to the Saudi club have told us that this could rise to 120 million euros with bonuses. Regarding the salary of the international Auriverde, we explained to you that he had asked to receive emoluments similar or almost to those of Karim Benzema (200 M€ per year) as well as to have control over his rights To the picture.
XXL advantages
According to our information, he will receive between 300 and 400 million euros spread over the duration of his lease. Despite everything, some media speak rather of 100 million euros per year, which seems little given the standing of Neymar. In addition to his salary, Neymar will have great benefits in Saudi Arabia. Thus, he will have at his disposal a private plane as is the case for CR7. Like the Portuguese, he will also be able to live with his partner Bruna Biancardi even if they are not married. This will be tolerated although it is prohibited in Saudi Arabia. Neymar will also have at his disposal a huge house as well as the staff that goes with it.
The player, who still belongs to PSG, will also have enough to fill his bank account a little more. Indeed, for each victory of Al-Hilal, the former Barça will pocket 80,000 euros. He will also earn 500,000 euros for each story or post published on his personal social networks where he promotes Saudi Arabia, we were told. Suffice to say that Neymar risks filling his pockets.
