Neymar is exploring his options as he looks to leave Paris Saint-Germain. Reports currently claim that Al-Hilal has made a lucrative offer for the Brazilian soccer icon. But quite a few fans do not seem to be happy with him as he eyes a move to Saudi Arabia. A TV show host recently criticized the soccer veteran while comparing his move to Cristiano Ronaldo‘s one in January.

Sources claim that Neymar has received a two-year deal for about $218 million. If he accepts the deal, which he is reportedly inclined toward doing, he will become one of the many soccer stars to opt for a soccer move outside Europe.

Neymar faces heavy criticism after TV host makes jaw-dropping comparisons

While many thought that the big transfers are over for this window, something quite unexpected happened. Neymar, whose career was going quite decently at PSG, reportedly wants a new challenge. The French soccer club didn’t stand in his way and allowed him to leave. Al Hilal immediately came to the negotiating table. They’ve offered PSG a heavy fee and the Brazilian icon a lucrative contract.

Surprisingly, he’s currently facing a bit of criticism for considering a permanent move to Saudi Arabia. Brazilian TV show host Mano didn’t hold back even the slightest while addressing the situation. He said, “Neymar in Saudi Arabia is a Ferrari in Clay”, as translated by Google Translate. Mano then compared Neymar’s move to Ronaldo’s move to the Middle East in January.

He quoted, “Cristiano Ronaldo is something I don’t want anymore. I don’t have all that hard-on anymore. I’m going there to close with a golden key. The master had already won everything. Messi, he’s withdrawing little by little like Cristiano Ronaldo. Also can’t talk to a guy who had the career of Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo”. He didn’t seem to be in agreement with Neymar Jr’s idea of leaving European soccer.

Interestingly, Neymar didn’t seem to be Al Hilal’s first choice, as they made two other offers for some big names. Let’s dive deeper.

Neymar is reportedly on the verge of joining the new soccer movement in Saudi Arabia with Cristiano Ronaldo at the helm. Before Neymar, Al Hilal tried to lure in two other big names in the soccer universe. They offered Lionel Messi a humungous deal followed by Kylian Mbappe too. But both weren’t keen on joining them. Mbappe is still at PSG while Messi has become an overnight hero in the US.

Al Hilal seems to have finally hit the nail on the head. They’ve offered Neymar a lucrative two-year deal, as per Fox Sports. He will cash out a reported $218 million over his tenure in the Middle East. In the past, Ronald0 has been quite supportive and the soccer legend has spoken good things that were in favor of his team Al Nassr and the Saudi Pro League.
