Its confirmed that the Saudi Arabian club have paid €90m (£77.6m) for the 31-year-old’s services, brining an end to his six-year relationshipwith PSG. The Ligue 1 club made Neymar the most expensive footballer in history back in 2017, signing the player for £190m.
While the Brazilian won five Ligue 1 titles in Paris, he struggled with a number of muscle injuries throughout his time at the club, failing to make more than 22 league appearances in any of his six campaigns with the club.
Speaking to PSG’s website, club chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: “It is inevitably difficult to say goodbye to a legend of the Club, which Neymar will be forever. I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, nor what he brought to our club and our project over the past six years.
“We have lived extraordinary moments and Neymar will always be part of our history. I would like to thank him and his family. We wish Neymar the best for the future and his next adventure.”
Neymar joins the two Ballon d’Or winners who now ply their trade the Saudi Pro League Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. This is definitely putting the Saudi Pro League in a new era of football and a historic moment in the football fraternity.
