Hours after the announcement of the agreement between Neymar and Al-Hilal, fans already lined up to buy a shirt from the Brazilian player, who left the Paris Saint Germain after six seasons. The star signed with the Saudi club coached by Jorge Jesus for two seasons and will use the 10.
On Tuesday, Neymar officially became the most expensive signing in Saudi football history. The Parisian team should receive 90 million euros (about R$ 490 million) for the agreement with the athlete, who will receive a salary of 160 million euros (R$ 860 million) separated in two years of contract. Per month, the attacker will collect R$ 36 million.
The ex-Barcelona player underwent medical tests on Monday and should arrive in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

“Neymar is a global icon who brings joy and pleasure to all fans wherever he plays. The spotlight is always on him and he always responds to that. We are delighted to have him at Al-Hilal, the most from across Asia,” said Al-Hilal Board Chairman Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel.
Jorge Jesus’ team opened the coffers recently and has already closed with other big names in world football, such as Rúben Neves, Koulibaly, Milinkovic-Savic and the Brazilian Malcom.
