Neymar, Next Big Name to Join Saudi Arabia <\/h3>\n

Neymar might be on track to complete a high-profile transfer to the Saudi Pro League, following Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

Following Lionel Messi out of the Parc des Princes this summer, the Brazil international is expected to leave Â鶹APP Saint-Germain. Neymar and his former teammate Messi have received harsh criticism from the French club’s supporters. Ironically, the player who teamed up with Messi in Barcelona and Â鶹APP may benefit from his move to Inter Miami. Al-Hilal had pushed for a move for the World Cup victor, but with a potential multi-million-pound deal in the works, they could now switch their attention to Neymar.<\/p>\n

A delegation from Al-Hilal traveled to Â鶹APP on Friday, according to CBS Sports, to begin the first negotiations. According to the source, Neymar may receive pay on par with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr midway through the 2022\u201323 season.<\/p>\n

According to reports, annual salaries of \u20ac200 million would be paid on top of a transfer fee of about \u20ac45 million. Neymar signed PSG from Barcelona in 2017 for more than \u00a3200 million, and he has a deal with the French champions through 2025.<\/p>\n

Due to injuries, Neymar missed a handful of games during the most recent PSG season. After returning from Brazil’s World Cup duty in February, he underwent surgery for a season-ending ankle problem.<\/p>\n

It is simply the most recent instance of a Saudi team attempting to secure a lucrative summer transfer for a prominent figure in European football. Karim Benzema, the winner of the Ballon d’Or, will play for Al-Ittihad in the upcoming campaign, where he’ll be joined by fellow France international N’Golo Kante.<\/p>\n

Following Benzema’s decision to depart after returning more than 350 goals since moving to the Spanish capital, Real Madrid issued a statement expressing gratitude. The striker joined Los Blancos in 2009 and enjoyed success with the Spanish team, playing a pivotal role in 2022 with multiple hat-tricks as they won the Champions League.<\/p>\n

“Karim Benzema’s career at Real Madrid has been a shining example of conduct and professionalism, and he has represented the values of our club,” the statement read. “Karim Benzema has earned the right to decide his future.<\/p>\n

“Madridistas and all the fans all over the world alike have enjoyed his magical and unique football, which has made him one of the great icons of our club and one of the great legends of world football. Real Madrid is and always will be his home, and we wish him and all his family all the best in this new stage of his life.”<\/p>\n
