The whole town can’t stop talking about Neymar Jr.‘s $418 million deal that saw him go to Al Hilal. Shortly after his move, the player moved to his big mansion with his beloved pregnant girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi. Since then, they have been trying to settle in well. But just weeks after their arrival, Ney’s other significant half is already ranting about the country and even detailing its negative side.

Despite heaping praise about the Gulf nation and admitting how much she loved it, the Brazilian model is now claiming there are several drawbacks to living on King Salman’s land.

Mostly it has been Bruna Biancardi exploring every inch of the town. Be it visiting new places or trying out the exquisite local delicacies, the 29-year-old has an unquenched wanderlust. Subsequently, the model again took her time to enjoy the nightlife of Riyadh while Neymar continued to recover for his debut.

As she was wandering the streets of Riyadh in her car, Biancardi took the opportunity to address a major pitfall of the capital city. She took to Instagram to show off a tour of the city. Aside from the small clip she wrote a caption. As translated by DeepL, she wrote, “It doesn’t matter what time it is, there’s usually traffic here.”

The clip showed there was a lot of traffic, which is something that Biancardi isn’t impressed about. Hence, this eventually led her to underline the major disadvantage of living in a popular metropolis in the Middle East. On the contrary, it’s obvious that traffic would persist in a city like Riyadh, given that it’s the capital of the country.

Certainly, this is something that both Neymar and Biancardi must get used to, as there are still three years to spend. Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time she had a complaint about her stay in the new city. Earlier, the model stated her issues with heat.

Neymar Jr.’s girlfriend isn’t fond of the Saudi heat

Earlier, while openly sharing her thoughts on social media, Biancardi couldn’t ignore the discomfort caused by the scorching heat. She remarked, “The heat, really, is to kill! But we don’t stay outside [outdoors]. Bianca [her friend] took an outdoor tour, I ended up not going because it’s really hot, but other than that just compliments.” Normally, extreme heatwaves force us to wear lighter and shorter clothing. Unfortunately, Biancardi is constrained by the country’s societal norms, which don’t favor such attire.

In reference to this, she said, “When we’re pregnant, that’s not all that’s good. Sometimes we put on wide pants with a tighter blouse that shows the belly and here it doesn’t work.” Notably, Biancardi and Neymar are expecting the birth of their daughter Mavie. But coming back, certainly, there are some impediments to the couple’s stay in Riyadh. Hopefully, Neymar’s mouth-watering contract can make up for all the predicament they are facing.
