Neymar to Al Hilal: Brazilian star's medical to be completed today - Report

PSG bought Neymar in 2017 after paying a record 222 million euros transfer fee to Barca. Brazillian's PSG contract runs till 2025 but he has decided to leave the French club for Saudi club Al-Hilal

Brazillian football star Neymar is the latest and probably the biggest name after Cristiano Ronaldo to join the Suadi Pro League. It has been confirmed by many media outlets that the 31-year-old has moved to Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a deal of nearly 100 million euros, although the price is yet to be confirmed. Neymar would soon reach Riyadh for a medical test before making the deal official.

The PSG’s stakes are falling now given Neymar would be the club’s second-biggest departure after Lionel Messi left to play for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MSL). Kylian Mbappe, the third big name at PSG is adamant about not renewing his contract which ends in 2024. 

Al Hilal, which first came to the table with the French Ligue 1 champions in July 2023 with an offer of nearly 300 million euros for Mbappe, has settled down with Neymar by shelling out almost 1/3rd less than the amount they wished to spend.  

PSG bought Neymar in 2017 after paying a record 222 million euros transfer fee to Barcelona. Brazillian's PSG contract runs till 2025 but he has decided to leave the French club for Saudi club. Neymar made 173 appearances for PSG, helping the club win 13 trophies, including five Ligue 1 titles. The side reached the final of the 2020 Champions League final. He scored 82 goals for the team as well.
