In his first interview since joining Pro-League club Al Hilal, Neymar said he is ‘very excited’ about the move. The 31-year-old signed a two-year contract after Al Hilal agreed a transfer fee of around $98m with Paris Saint-Germain, where Neymar had spent the past six seasons.
The Brazil international will reportedly earn $162m a year. Neymar is the latest in a long line of big name players to sign for clubs in Saudi Arabia, and he credits Cristiano Ronaldo with the influx of talent, despite some people saying the Portugal captain was ‘crazy’ to join Al Nassr at the start of the year.
