Brazilian football sensation Neymar appears to be leaving the European stage behind, accepting a monumental offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that the 31-year-old star is on the brink of signing a lucrative two-year contract, with a medical already scheduled. The proposed deal comes with a jaw-dropping price tag of 160 million euros, showcasing Al Hilal’s ambition to secure top-tier talent.
Neymar’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable, as he initially made waves when he transferred from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017 for a world record fee of 220 million Euros. The 31-year-old’s time with PSG has been filled with both brilliance and controversy, but it seems his tenure with the French giants is reaching its conclusion.
This development marks the end of a potential reunion between Neymar and his former club, Barcelona, which had been rumoured in recent months. The astronomical offer from Al Hilal appears to have dashed any hopes of a return to the Catalan side, signalling a major shift in Neymar’s footballing trajectory.
Though Neymar was absent from PSG’s first Ligue One match of the season, he showcased his skills during the pre-season, leaving fans with a bittersweet feeling as they anticipate his departure. Meanwhile, the Al Hilal owners have reportedly held discussions with the Brazilian magician, and official announcements regarding this momentous transfer are expected to follow shortly.
