At the new club, the Brazilian will have a salary of 160 million euros (about R$ 860 million), divided into two years of contract. Therefore, the player will receive approximately BRL 36 million per month.
In addition, Neymar will continue to wear shirt number 10, the same number he wore at PSG and the Brazilian national team.
Neymar moves the market since leaving Barcelona
So the most expensive transfer in history, Neymar reached the PSG in August 2017 coming from Barcelonain negotiations worth around 222 million euros (R$ 800 million at the exchange rate at the time).
Even without winning the much dreamed French title – the Champions League – the star won 14 cups: five French Championships, three French Cups, four French Super Cups and two League Cups.
Saudi Arabia must, therefore, have one more star of world football in its local football. Currently, the league has big names such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino.
