Neymar has become the latest figure to leave European football to compete in the Saudi Pro League.
After spending six years at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the Brazilian superstar completed his move to Riyadh-based side Al Hilal.
Neymar signed a two-year contract with Al Hilal. The Saudi outfit are expected to pay Neymar at least 300 million Euros ($327 million) six times the amount offered by the Paris giants, according to Hindustan Times.
Neymar did manage to gain considerable popularity and fanfare during his time in France but the 31-year-old could not win, arguably, the highly sought trophy in PSG jersey, the Champions League.
As Neymar is now all set to embark on a new mission this season, it is time to recall the Brazilian international’s stellar career at PSG.
Neymar completed his move to PSG from Barcelona for a record transfer fee in 2017. He arrived at Parc des Princes on a five-year deal.
In his first season with PSG, Neymar scored 28 goals in 30 matches across all competitions. Neymar kept on scoring goals and providing key assists.
In his fourth season at PSG, Neymar became the fastest player in the history of the club to breach the 50-goal mark in domestic league.
Neymar and Kylian Mbppe’s combination turned out to be one of the deadliest attacking forces in world football.
Despite displaying a spectacular attacking brand of football, the premier European silverware still eluded PSG.
