“Neymar is not heading to the MLS, nor is he staying in Europe. He is set to join Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal. They are paying approximately 100 million euros to PSG to secure his transfer and reportedly offering Neymar a staggering two-year, 320 million euro contract, equating to 160 million per year,” states David Mosse.

However, that’s not all. The former PSG star will enjoy an array of privileges, including access to a private jet, round-the-clock hotel staff at his disposal, performance-based bonuses for victories, and even additional bonuses for each Instagram post in which he positively portrays Saudi Arabia.
