Brazilian Neymar moves to Saudi Arabia as the next football superstar. The 31-year-old from Paris Saint-Germain will play for Al-Hilal, as announced by the Saudi club and the French series champion.
It was previously revealed that Neymar was allegedly trying to continue his career at a top European club. However, numerous top teams canceled the offensive player from Paris Saint-Germain, as the British portal “The Independent” reported on Monday.
In addition to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City, the 31-year-old is said to have been offered to Bayern Munich. None of the clubs mentioned wanted to pay the transfer fee and salary. According to the report, there was only interest in signing Neymar at FC Barcelona, where Neymar played from 2013 to 2017.
After Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar is the next superstar to continue his career in Saudi Arabia. Most recently, Sadio Mané from FC Bayern Munich, Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema and Jordan Henderson from FC Liverpool also switched to the Saudi Pro League. The German coach Matthias Jaissle also signed a contract there.
