In a groundbreaking development that has sent shockwaves through the soccer world, Paris St Germain (PSG) has officially reached an agreement to transfer soccerl legend Neymar to Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal. The confirmation of this significant move came from the BBC, on Monday, effectively putting an end to the speculation that had been swirling around the potential deal.
Sources close to the matter have disclosed to Al Arabiya that Al Hilal has successfully negotiated the acquisition of the remaining contract of the illustrious player from PSG for a remarkable sum of $98.5 million. In addition to this, Neymar is set to become one of the highest-paid players in the Saudi Pro League, with an annual salary of $109.49 million, trailing only behind the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of earnings.
The sources further revealed that Al Hilal and Neymar have not only finalized the terms of his playing contract but have also arrived at a comprehensive agreement pertaining to his commercial and promotional rights.
While the deal appears to be on the cusp of materializing, it is important to note that the transfer is subject to Neymar successfully completing a medical examination and fulfilling all the requisite paperwork, as stipulated in the report.
Neymar’s ongoing contract with PSG was initially slated to run until 2025. However, previous reports had hinted at Meymar’s potential departure from the club during the summer transfer window, which has now become a reality.
Neymar’s association with PSG has been a subject of international attention since his monumental transfer from Barcelona six years ago, a move that commanded a world-record fee of $244 million. His journey with PSG, which also featured the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, has witnessed moments of triumph and challenges that have further solidified his status as a soccer icon.
The ambitions of Al Hilal have been visibly highlighted as they sought to secure the services of not only Neymar but also French striker Kylian Mbappe, making a record-breaking bid of $332 million. This ambitious approach is in line with Saudi Arabia’s concerted efforts to attract top-tier international players, ultimately striving to elevate their league to one of the premier soccer competitions on a global scale.
The anticipation around Neymar’s move to Al Hilal continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of the medical examination and the finalization of paperwork.
