Neymar has completed his move from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal, the Saudi Arabian club announced on Tuesday. The Brazilian forward has signed a two-year contract with Al-Hilal, reportedly worth £129.4 million per year.
The move is a major coup for Al-Hilal, who are now one of the richest clubs in the world. Neymar is the latest big-name player to join the club, following the arrivals of Kalidou Koulibaly, Rúben Neves, and Sergej Milinković-Savić earlier this summer.
Neymar’s move to Al-Hilal has been met with mixed reactions. Some fans have praised the club for signing such a big name, while others have criticized the move as a waste of money. Only time will tell whether Neymar can justify his wages at Al-Hilal.
The 31-year-old Brazilian is one of the most talented players in the world, but he has also been plagued by injuries in recent years. He has missed significant time with injuries in each of his six seasons at PSG.
Neymar will be hoping to stay fit and help Al-Hilal win the AFC Champions League. The club has never won the competition, but they have reached the final twice in the past three years.
Neymar’s move to Al-Hilal is also a sign of the changing landscape of football. The Gulf states are now investing heavily in the sport, and they are willing to pay big money for top talent. This could lead to a more competitive global football landscape in the years to come.
