The agreement is total between Neymar, PSG and Al-Hilal for the transfer of the Brazilian star to Saudi Arabia. It will be presented this Tuesday evening!
Neymar’s turbulent history at PSG ends on Tuesday, six years after his arrival as part of the most expensive transfer in history (222 million euros). As indicated by Radio France on Tuesday afternoon, which quotes a source close to the player, the deal has been finalized for the departure of the Brazilian prodigy, 31, to Saudi Arabia. His contract will be for two years at nearly 100 million per season. It will be presented in the evening by the Riyadh club!
Already pushed towards the exit last year, with the arrival of Luis Campos at the helm of the sports sector (in the wake of Kylian Mbappé’s extension), the “Ney”, once again seriously injured in the middle of the season, has asked to find a way out. Which would have pushed Mbappé to get closer to his leaders to reintegrate the professional group. The Auriverde, he thought of a return from Barça, but it was impossible financially.
Jackpot for PSG
The journey of the Brazilian prodigy in Paris turned into a disaster. Exceptional on the field, but unprofessional outside, the player was seriously injured 4 times to miss several months of competition each time, never exceeding 31 matches in all competitions. A largely insufficient return for a player paid more than €30 million per year and extended until 2027! The club owned by Qatar, however, recovers a rather unlikely jackpot of 90 M€.
At Al-Hilal, far from top-level football (at least the UEFA Champions League), but within the most prestigious clubs in the Arabian Peninsula, Neymar will be led by a Portuguese coach who passed through Brazil, Jorge Jesus, and will evolve with Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and his compatriots Michael and Malcom. Salem Al-Dawsari, the star of the Saudi selection, plays in this team.
