Lionel Messi is not moving to Saudi Arabia – this news recently caused a stir in the football world.
The Argentinian world champion decided against the bulging suitcase of money from the desert state and hired instead in the USA at Beckham club Inter Miami, where he is still handsomely rewarded.
After the disappointment about Messi, the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal now apparently wants to fish his buddy and ex-teammate Neymar
According to a report by “CBS Sports”, representatives of Al-Hilal are currently in Paris and are trying to sign the most expensive footballer in the world.
Next star for the Saudi Pro League?
With Paris Saint-Germain keen to part ways with the 31-year-old and the Saudis willing to pay a gargantuan salary, it is now up to the Brazilian to continue his career in Europe.
The Riyadh club and their owner, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), are keen to sign another top player as they offer a new star to counter great rivals Al-Nassr, from whom Cristiano Ronaldo rakes in his millions. As one of the most iconic professionals in world football, Neymar would tick all the boxes for Al-Hilal.
Most recently, reigning champions A-Ittihad brought two world-renowned players to the Saudi Pro League in Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante.
Salary offer in Ronaldo spheres
The terms of the contract would be comparable to those of Ronaldo, whose total salary is said to be around 200 million euros a year. In addition, the 18-time Saudi champion is said to be ready to pay a transfer fee of around 45 million euros. However, Al-Hilal has yet to enter into talks with Paris Saint-Germain.
For their part, PSG would welcome any adequate offer for Neymar, whose contract expires in 2025, the report states.
Meanwhile, staying in Europe is also an option. Various English clubs are said to be interested in signing Neymar.
