Is Neymar done with his European career? The Brazil national team star underwent medical tests with Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, where he will sign a two-season contract. Neymar has a contract at Paris Saint-Germain, so the Saudis will have to pay a transfer fee of around €90 million for the player.

And what about Neymar's salary? The amounts have not yet been announced, but it is estimated that he will earn a similar amount to what Ronaldo earns at Al Nassr. According to a sensational report recently published, the Brazilian will earn a monstrous salary of over 2.5 million euros a week and no less than 260 million euros for two years. According to the same report, many players were offered a 50 percent advance payment if they agreed to move to Saudi Arabia. Neymar will join other senior players from Europe such as Milinkovic – Savić, Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves.
The 31-year-old Neymar ends a decade in Europe, a decade in which he wore the uniforms of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. Neymar reached his peak in 2015, where he won the treble alongside Leo Messi and Luis Suarez. The coach, by the way, was Luis Enrique, the current manager of Paris, who informed Neymar that he was not in his professional plans.
Neymar is still the most expensive player in history, having been bought by Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for €222 million. He started last season well in Paris and showed great ability, but faded and was injured after the World Cup and did not play the entire second part of the season.
