PSG's Neymar latest superstar on Saudi wishlist as Al-Hilal fly in for talks after Lionel Messi snub
CBSN
The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Paris, but could he end up in the Middle East?
Neymar is the latest superstar on Saudi Arabia's radar with representatives of Al-Hilal in Paris as they attempt to secure the signature of the world's most expensive footballer. With Paris Saint-Germain eager to part ways with the 31-year-old and the Saudis prepared to offer a mammoth wage packet, the ball is in the Brazilian's court as to whether he wants to call an end to his top-level career in Europe.
Al-Hilal had expected to secure the services of Lionel Messi until he decided to sign for MLS club Inter Miami earlier this month; they and their owners, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), are eager to secure an alternative marquee addition for the Riyadh club as they look to build on the rivalry between The Blue Waves and Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. As one of the most high-profile stars in world football, Neymar would tick all the boxes for Al-Hilal.
CBS Sports understands that a senior delegation from Al-Hilal flew to the French capital on Friday, intending to test the waters around Neymar's camp and ascertain whether he is amenable to make the move to the kingdom. Personal terms would be comparable to those of Ronaldo, whose total package is believed to be around €200 million a year. Sources indicate that the Saudi giants, 18-time league champions, would be prepared to pay in the region of €45 million as a transfer fee however they are yet to open dialogue with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing.
