According to the Tasnim news agency, Neymar, the Brazilian striker, officially left for the Saudi Football League and Riyadh’s Al-Hilal Club after leaving the Paris team. After the Portuguese Ronaldo, who chose Al-Nasr to continue his career 6 months ago, many stars went to Saudi Arabia in the last two months.
Neymar is officially in Al-Hilal, and this Brazilian player, after 6 years in Paris Saint-Germain at the age of 31, decided that the best option to continue his football is the Saudi League. Neymar left Barcelona to step out of Lionel Messi’s shadow, win the Ballon d’Or, help the Parisian club qualify for the Champions League and finally stand triumphantly on the European Championship podium, but the idea didn’t work out. For various reasons, many of which lie in his personality and environment. Neymar is a great talent with unique data who did not fully utilize his potential, even though he conquered almost everything.
After reaching incredible heights in European football, Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia. Karim Benzema went to the Middle East because he showed all his potential in Europe. Lionel Messi also went to America after failing to return to Barcelona.
on the other hand; Neymar was not needed by Paris Saint-Germain as new manager Luis Enrique made it clear that the Brazilian had no place in his plans. Excuses such as attending my sister’s birthday party and several other parties, insisting on attending the annual Brazilian carnival, and most importantly, injuries at key points in the season; It can be said that since 2017, Neymar has not spent a single full season in which he played more than 30 games. He was not seriously linked with any club in Europe as it was unlikely that anyone would be able to meet his financial demands or subsequently get a decent fee for him. Barca has many financial problems and Chelsea did not need him. Now Saudi Arabia; This country generously poured 100 million euros into the account of Paris Saint-Germain, which in this situation could not receive a similar amount from a team. Al-Hilal also gave millions of dollars to Neymar, which no one would pay him like that.
Neymar is probably happy in Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian striker will earn a lot of money from his contract for two years and he can finish his football there. According to media reports, Saudi Arabia promises a private jet for personal use, a fully furnished mansion with staff, 500,000 euros for every post or article about Saudi Arabia on social networks, 80,000 euros for every Al-Hilal victory; The salary is 160 million euros per season.
