Neymar's transfer from PSG to Al Hilal has been officially completed. At the age of 31, Neymar's role as a pivotal player at Parc des Princes has diminished, leading PSG's management to discuss his sale in order to invest in younger, more ambitious talents. Al Hilal's offer arrived at an opportune moment and was accepted by PSG, while Neymar was enticed by the highly lucrative financial incentives reserved for a football superstar.

These developments have been covered by L'Equipe in France, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the news on various social media platforms.

The Conclusion of Neymar's Paris Era

As previously highlighted by MARCA, the MLS didn't present a feasible avenue for Neymar. Instead, Saudi Arabia has emerged as the solution for the predicament faced by both PSG and Neymar.

The Brazilian, who made his way to Paris in 2017 for a record-breaking 222 million euros, is now bidding farewell to the club.

His quest for the prestigious Champions League title has gone unfulfilled, and his performances have consistently resembled a rollercoaster ride.

The journey has been replete with a series of highs and lows, frequently marred by numerous injuries, ultimately resulting in a total of 119 missed matches due to various ailments.

Neymar departs PSG after participating in 173 matches, notching 118 goals and providing 77 assists.

The Lucrative Salary and 'Exceptionally Generous' Perks

At the age of 31, Neymar is no longer held as the linchpin player at Parc des Princes, and the PSG leadership has engaged in discussions about his sale to channel investments into younger players who possess a heightened desire to perform. Al Hilal's timely proposition was well-received by PSG, and Neymar was swayed by the extremely enticing financial prospects earmarked for a football superstar.

According to international press, Neymar's contract with Al Hilal comprises provisions such as his earning of more than €500,000 for every content he shares on Instagram that promotes Saudi Arabia. He will have a dedicated aircraft for convenient travel at any moment, and he will be allowed to cohabit with his girlfriend Bruna Biancardi, even though they are not married. It's worth noting that Saudi Arabia's laws prohibit unmarried couples from living together.

Neymar's mega-money contract with Al-Hilal includes €500,000 for each Instagram post promoting Saudi Arabia.

Each triumph of Al Hilal with Neymar on the field will augment his pocket by over €75,000, while each goal or assist he contributes will also result in a separate reward, though the exact figures have not been unveiled. Competing from Riyadh's capital, Al Hilal, Neymar will temporarily reside in a luxurious apartment within the towering Kingdom Centre complex while he awaits a more suitable permanent dwelling.

So, when might Neymar make his debut for Al Hilal? There's a possibility he will grace the field in the clash against Al Feiha on the evening of August 19th, but at most, he may be a substitute. The encounter with Al Raed on the night of August 24th appears to offer a higher likelihood for Neymar to start.

The deal also encompasses a luxurious home for Neymar and his pregnant girlfriend Bruna Biancardi, complete with a team of household staff and support personnel.

It's a pity that Neymar didn't arrive earlier to face Al Nassr, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, as this awaited meeting is slated for November 30th. Nevertheless, in the immediate future, Neymar and his new team will engage in other significant battles: they will face Jordan Henderson and Moussa Dembele's Al Ettifaq on August 28th, before crossing paths with Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante's Al Ittihad on September 1st.
