Neymar has decided to leave PSG after 6 years to join Al Hilal on a two-year contract. Here, "little Pele" receives up to 160 million Euros per year, 4 times more than when he was at PSG.
However, the Brazilian striker affirmed that the reason for moving to Brazil to play was not for money.
“I achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed a special time,” he shared.
But I always wanted to be a global player. I wanted to test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places.
I want to write new sports history. The Saudi Arabian championship has many quality players and has great energy.
I have heard a lot and watched a long list of Brazilian players playing here over the years. I believe I want to play here.
Al Hilal is a huge club with great fans. It is the best club in Asia. This gives me the feeling that I made the right decision. I like winning and scoring goals. I will continue to do that in Saudi Arabia and Al Hilal."
Thus, Neymar has ended his 10-year journey playing in Europe. Here, he has achieved many successes. Typically, he won the La Liga championship, the Champions League with Barcelona or won the Ligue 1 title with PSG.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi praised what Neymar brought to PSG with an emotional farewell speech: "It is difficult to say goodbye to a special player like Neymar, one of the best players in the world.
I will never forget the day he arrived at PSG and what he has brought to our club and the project over the past six years."
"We lived great moments and Neymar will always be part of our history. I want to thank Neymar and his family.
We wish Neymar all the best for the future and his next adventure," added President Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
