As for his salary, Neymar has expressed the wish to be paid at a level comparable to that of Karim Benzema (200 million euros per year) and to have full control over his image rights. After Al-Ittihad (Karim Benzema), Al-Nassr (Sadio Mané) or Al-Alhi (Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez), it is the turn of the Saudi club Al-Hilal to recruit an international football star. It is experiencing great development so I believe it is the ideal place, ”said the Brazilian striker. After 4 seasons with the Blaugrana during which he scored 105 times and delivered 76 goals in 186 games, the Brazilian prodigy was transferred to Paris Saint-Germain during the 2017 summer transfer window.

A regular scorer, he helped his club win the championship in 2007 and in 2008, that same season he scored 15 goals in 27 league games and ranked at 6th position in the ranking of top scorers.
