At the start of 2023, Neymar was rated 12th among the highest-paid athletes in any sport in the world, but the Brazil international might move up a few spots when he eventually joins Al-Hilal.
The 31-year-old attacker is the latest addition to the Saudi Pro League’s seismic summer of recruiting, which has seen elite names like as Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane relocate to the Middle East.
Neymar will go to Saudi Arabia after Paris Saint-Germain reached an agreement with Al-Hilal on personal matters.
Al-Hilal will pay Paris €90 million for the 31-year-old Brazilian, who has already agreed to a two-year deal with the Saudi Pro League team as his European journey comes to an end.
Neymar is expected to earn a large salary when he registers with Al-Hilal, as the Saudi Pro League team has offered the Brazilian a deal for €160 million, according to GOAL.
