Neymar’s impending move to Saudi Arabia is nearing completion following Paris Saint-Germain’s agreement with Al-Hilal and the finalisation of personal terms.
L’Equipe reports that PSG and the Saudi Pro League team have come to terms on Neymar’s transfer.
The 31-year-old Brazilian has already committed to a two-year contract that will see him earn a total of €160 million (£138 million or $175 million).
Neymar’s six-year tenure in Paris seems to be concluding quietly. His absence from play since March and his pursuit of reconstructive ankle ligament surgery highlight the injury challenges that have persisted since his record-breaking transfer from Barcelona in 2017.
Despite netting 118 goals for PSG, Neymar’s relationship with the club’s fans has been turbulent in recent times.
This tension reached a peak when the ultras staged a protest outside his residence earlier this year. This summer, both Neymar and Marco Verratti were advised to seek new clubs.
Neymar will join a cadre of global superstars who have migrated to Saudi Arabia this season.
At Al-Hilal, he will collaborate with the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, and former Barcelona player Malcom.
