Neymar’s move from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League has garnered significant attention, marking one of the most notable transfers of the summer. As he embarks on his new journey, it’s revealed that Neymar didn’t receive any offers to remain in Europe before finalizing his move to Al-Hilal.
Despite a desire to stay in Europe and even a potential return to his former club Barcelona, Neymar found himself without viable options. A report suggests that Neymar didn’t receive any offers from European clubs, leaving him with the choice to move to Saudi Arabia if he wished to leave PSG.
While Neymar’s potential return to Barcelona was discussed, financial constraints and manager Xavi’s decision reportedly hindered the move. New manager Luis Enrique indicated that Neymar was no longer in his plans, prompting the Brazilian to seek a fresh start.
Ongoing tensions between Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, combined with the apparent likelihood of Mbappe’s continued stay at PSG, led the club’s board to conclude that accommodating both players was no longer feasible.
At the age of 31, Neymar still has years ahead of him and reportedly intends to return to Europe after his stint in Saudi Arabia. His multi-year deal with Al-Hilal presents an opportunity for him to become a prominent figure in the Saudi Pro League, following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo.
As the Saudi Pro League sees the participation of players like Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, and N’Golo Kante, the allure of the league seems to be growing. Neymar could potentially make his debut for Al-Hilal when they face AL Feiha on Saturday, marking a new chapter in his football career.
