Brazilian superstar Neymar has penned a groundbreaking initial two-year contract worth £77 million with Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal.
The historic signing took place amidst opulent surroundings at the Four Seasons George V Hotel in Paris. The Saudi club was represented by none other than their chairman, Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel.
“I am here in Saudi Arabia, I am Hilali,” Neymar proclaimed in an exclusive video posted across the club’s vibrant social media channels.
The financial allure of this move is hard to ignore, with Neymar reportedly set to earn an eye-popping annual salary of 150 million euros (£129.2 million) in Saudi Arabia. This staggering sum is a testament to Al Hilal’s ambitious pursuit of global talent.
Neymar is not the only marquee signing to grace Al Hilal’s ranks this summer. The Saudi club has orchestrated a series of headline-grabbing transfers, including the likes of former Wolves captain Ruben Neves, ex-Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly, and former Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. This assembly of top-tier talents paints a vivid picture of Al Hilal’s unwavering commitment to dominating the football scene.
