Al-Hilal has finally presented Neymar Jr as their star signing.
Al-Hilal has finally presented Neymar Jr as their star signing.

It's official, after weeks of rumors about the future of the Brazilian star, Neymar Júnior is a new player for Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia. Neither Barcelona nor Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar chose Saudi Arabia as his destination, and he will be there for a couple of years, at least.

Paris Saint-Germain managed to close the most expensive sale in its history. The PSG board closed the sale for 90 million euros + bonus, a lot of money considering that PSG signed Neymar for 222 million 6 years ago. Thus, Neymar puts an end to his career in the European elite, at 31 years of age.

In the presentation video on the official Al Hilal twitter account, Neymar Jr commented on his first words as an Arab soccer player: "I am here in Saudi Arabia, i am HILALI". The tweet has gone viral in just a few minutes of being public.

What did PSG say about Neymar leaving?

Also on his official Twitter account, Paris Saint-Germain said goodbye to the player: "When Neymar Jr leaves Paris Saint-Germain, a look back at six crazy years, between success, passion and emotion. "6 seasons , 173 appearances, 70 assists, 118 goals".
