RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Neymar became the latest superstar soccer player to take the riches on offer from the Saudi Pro League, completing a move to Al Hilal on Tuesday after six seasons at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 31-year-old Neymar signed a two-year contract that is expected to earn him an annual salary of about $100 million. That would be around half of the reported salary being taken home by Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr and whose move to Saudi in January sparked a slew of transfers to the kingdom by players like Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Jordan Henderson.
“I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, and what he has contributed to our club and our project over the last six years,” Al-Khelaïfi said. “We have had great moments and Neymar will always be a big part of our history.” He was an undoubtedly talented yet often frustrating figure at the PSG, which put together a star-studded forward line of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi and now only has one of them left.
Al Hilal also has Brazilian winger Malcom, Portugal midfielder Rúben Neves and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly in its squad.
