According to media reports, Neymar was paid 2.5 million euros per year at PSG. In Saudi Arabia, he will earn 15 million euros a year. Which is six times more than PSG.

In 2017, Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona for a record transfer fee of 22 million euros. However, he could not fulfill the expectations of the club in six years. In the last season, the fans have to listen to him.

He was in the squad for PSG's pre-season tour of Asia. He got a chance to play in the last match of that tour and scored a pair of goals. After that, suddenly he decided to leave the club, the news came in the media. Perhaps this is why he was left out of the team for the match against Lorient in Ligue 1 last Saturday.

After that, news came in the media that Neymar is moving to Saudi Arabia. The official announcement came now.

Neymar played 173 matches in PSG jersey. Won 13 trophies including five League Ones. But he could not play a role in breaking the Champions League title drought, which is the main goal of the club. Fate, however, did not help him; He has had the bitter experience of being sidelined by injuries at crucial times in multiple seasons. The Paris club lost in the Champions League final in 2020.

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi thanked Neymar for his contribution to the club.

"It is always difficult to say goodbye to one of the best players in the world, an extraordinary player like Neymar. I will never forget the day he arrived at PSG and the contribution he has made to our club, to our project over the last six years."

Last January, the Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr made a fuss by bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the team on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

In that sequence, in this summer's team transfer, one by one, big players from Europe's top teams moved to Saudi Arabia's football. Notable names among them are Karim Benzema, Jordan Henderson, Ruben Neves, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez.

Now Neymar has joined that list. Al Hilal tried to bring Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe to the team before Neymar. However, after leaving PSG last month, Messi joined Major Soccer League club Inter Miami. However, the Paris club accepted Al Hilal's offer of 20 million euros for Mbappe. However, the French forward returned it.

Al Hilal is the most successful club in Saudi Arabia and Asia. The club won 66 trophies. They hold the record for winning the most league (18 times) and Asian Champions League (4 times) titles.
