The departure of Neymar from Paris SG is concretely under study for this summer. Among the few possible destinations, the Premier League and especially the Saudi Pro League, which makes him look sweet but comes up against the will of the Brazilian.
Recruited through the biggest transfer in football history in 2017, Neymar wanted to leave PSG two years later, trying to force a return to FC Barcelona in 2019. Finally, the Brazilian has now found his ease in Paris , and he no longer wants to leave the capital club after having extended his contract there. However, the situation has been reversed since it is the PSG which wishes to get rid of its number 10, handsomely paid without managing to bring its team to the top, or to avoid injuries, or to have an irreproachable extra-sporting behavior.
Al-Hilal wants revenge for Messi affront
So that’s a lot for Paris, which agrees to listen to the offers. The English clubs could move, and they have the financial means for that while offering a sporting challenge far from negligible. But the most concrete interest is undoubtedly from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi championship, which dreams of offering itself the biggest stars in Europe, missed the boat with Lionel Messi, and intends to redo the icing with Lionel Messi. The interest is proven since emissaries from the Kingdom have put their suitcases in France to present the project to Neymar.

However, it is still very far from being won. It was the Al-Hilal club, the one who negotiated with the Messi clan, who took the lead and are on the case. The Riyadh club are hugely motivated after seeing the huge fallout from signing Cristiano Ronaldo at neighbor Al-Nassr. The financial package reserved for Neymar would be substantially the same as that of CR7, namely 200 million euros per year over several seasons, and a transfer of 45 million euros to be paid to PSG for his number 10. If the price of the transfer is negotiable, the main problem is not at this level. This shows how much Qatar wants to get rid of its playmaker, even if it means not looking closely at the amount of the transfer.
Neymar is not hot for Saudi Arabia
Indeed, the American media CBS affirms it, Neymar wants to listen to the transfer offers, but for the moment, it is only to stay in Europe. He wants to continue the Champions League, and is not tempted by an arrival in Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, no one is closed in this case, especially since his clan understood that a signing at FC Barcelona was not an option. As a result, the situation could well last a good part of the summer, as PSG and Al-Hilal are convinced that, if nothing new happens soon from the Premier League, Neymar could end up listening to what we offers him in the Saudi Pro League.
