Neymar has ended up moving from PSG to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. The player spent 6 seasons with Paris Saint-Germain but failed to achieve their major goal of winning the UEFA Champions League. The vibrant forward has become the latest big name to join the SPL and is one of the biggest European stars to play in the Middle East.
Neymar has made a significant transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Al Hilal, a club in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he has signed a staggering $300 million contract package. This transfer follows the club's failed attempts to sign Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Neymar, who has won two La Liga titles and five Ligue 1 titles, has signed a two-year contract with Al Hilal.
Neymar is reportedly guaranteed $300 million, with the potential to earn up to $400 million through commercial agreements with the club. In exchange, PSG accepted approximately $102 million for the 31-year-old Brazilian sensation. This transfer makes Neymar the largest signing for the Saudi Pro League since Ronaldo's departure to Al Nassr on a massive contract earlier this year. Messi reportedly turned down a $300 million offer from the Saudi Pro League in order to join the Miami-based MLS outfit, Inter Miami.
Notably, Al Hilal's pursuit of Mbappe was unsuccessful despite proposing a staggering $775 million one-year contract. Injury-related setbacks have plagued Neymar's career, including a notable back injury he suffered while competing for the Brazilian national team at the 2014 World Cup.
