A relative of Neymar has made revelations about the departure to Saudi Arabia of the former Paris Saint-Germain striker.
On August 15, the divorce between Neymar and PSG was pronounced. Pushed towards the exit, the Brazilian left the club of the capital to join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Saudi leaders have spent around 90 million euros to attract the former star of FC Barcelona to the Arabian Peninsula, linked until 2025 with his new employer. A staggering salary.
However, the motives that prompted the Seleção star to leave PSG seem to be of a completely different nature and come out of the financial aspect. According to Gabriel, former Gremio defender and close to Neymar, another reason would explain his departure for the Saudi championship: his family life.
“I will raise my daughter here”
Interviewed by ESPN, Gabriel explained the reason that pushed “Ney” to take the direction of Saudi Arabia. ” What he told me was this: “I’m happy, I’m going to raise my daughter here, I’m going to live some time with my family here in Saudi Arabia, and then I’ll see what happens. There, he will stay away from all this pressure, from all this. God willing, he will live two years with his family, win victories and break records while continuing to enchant the world of football. That’s what we talked about in our last conversation “, he confided.
As a reminder, Neymar is preparing to become a father for the second time. With his companion, Bruna Biancardi, they are expecting a little girl who is due to be born this fall.
