Neymar has officially been an Al-Hilal player for a short time. The Brazilian returned to the reasons for his transfer to Saudi Arabia.
This is clearly one of the transfers of the century. At 31, Neymar leaves Paris Saint-Germain for Al-Hilal. The striker was presented on Tuesday as a new recruit for the Saudi club, which for its part did not hesitate to spend 90 million euros to secure the player’s services. His name has just been added to the now long list of stars playing in the Roshen Saudi League. A new challenge that he said he was enthusiastic about taking up.
“I am very excited, very happy to join a new championship”, assured Neymar in a video posted on the club’s Twitter account. “It’s a new experience, a new challenge. I’m excited to write the story. Challenges motivate me and when you face a new challenge like that, it boosts your self-esteem. I’m here to help the championship grow.” he explained. The presence of the Brazilian star is certainly an additional spotlight on a championship in full emergence.
A tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo
A boom made possible in particular thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner made the choice to join Al-Nassr in December 2022. A decision that surprised many but inspired others, including Neymar himself. “Of course, it’s a different change but a new challenge. I believe Cristiano Ronaldo started all this and everyone called him crazy, etc. But today you realize that the championship is growing more and more,” launched the new star of Al-Hilal.
