The Brazilian forward who once dreamed of donning the Barcelona jersey is set to depart the Parc des Princes to pursue his career with an Asian powerhouse.

Al-Hilal and the former Barcelona ace have reached a transfer agreement, and the remaining hurdle is PSG’s acceptance of an offer near 80 million euros. That sum would mark Neymar as the most expensive transfer in PSG’s history, surpassing the 40 million euros Valencia paid for Gonçalo Guedes and also setting a record within the Saudi Pro League.

Beyond the 80 million euro transfer fee, PSG could also collect additional performance-based bonuses for titles and appearances, which could push the total value toward 120 million euros. The deal would substantially assist PSG in balancing Financial Fair Play requirements while bolstering the Ligue 1 champions’ squad planning.

Brazilian outlets report that Neymar’s contract with Al-Hilal might span two seasons, with an annual salary around 120 million euros. The move would place him in a locker room alongside widely recognized teammates such as Rúben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Malcom, and Sergei Milinković-Savić.

For fans, this potential transfer represents a significant shift in the landscape of Saudi football, underscoring the league’s growing appeal to top international talents and its ambition to compete with Europe’s elite leagues.
