Another star has been added to the list of star players who will play in the European League going to Saudi Arabia. Neymar, the forward of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is also going to play in the Saudi Pro League.
French champions PSG are ready to sell Neymar to Al Hilal. BBC reports that Al Hilal is going to sign Neymar for 90 million euros. Before that, Neymar will have to complete the medical and all the paperwork. 31-year-old Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona for 222 million euros in 2017.
News of the Neymar deal comes just 24 hours after PSG’s Kylian Mbappe was reintegrated back into first-team training after positive talks with the club.
The France forward, 24, had been in a contract stand-off amid a desire to join Real Madrid but could now extend his contract at PSG, with his current deal due to expire next summer.
Mbappe was also left out of the squad for the Lorient game and watched the match from the stands.
Last month, PSG gave Al-Hilal permission to talk to Mbappe after the Saudi side made a world-record £259m bid.
If completed, the transfer will continue a remarkable summer spending spree by Saudi clubs, underlining the league’s ambition to be one of the top competitions in the world in the next few years.
The likes of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Jordan Henderson, Ruben Neves, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have all moved to Saudi Arabia.
Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr from Manchester United in January.
