The sources added that Neymar is poised to sign a two-year contract worth €100 million per year at Al Hilal, where he could potentially join forces with Kalidou Koulibaly, Rúben Neves, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Brazilian star Neymar was excluded from PSG’s squad for their season opener in Ligue 1 against Lorient, fueling rumors of a departure from the club.
A potential return to Barcelona has been discussed, with Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto revealing that he had conversations about it with Neymar.
Earlier this week, ESPN reported that Neymar has a strong desire to rejoin Barcelona this summer, but there is internal deliberation within the club regarding the merits of bringing him back. Some advocate for the move, while others, including coach Xavi Hernandez, believe that Neymar would not fit into the current Barcelona team.
The likelihood of a transfer happening is slim due to the financial issues facing the club and Xavi’s opposition to Neymar’s return.
Sources informed ESPN that PSG, who recently acquired forward Ousmane Dembélé from Barcelona, would be content with Neymar’s departure.
Since his move to France in 2017, Neymar has secured five Ligue 1 titles and a total of 13 domestic honors, in addition to being a runner-up in the 2020 Champions League final.
