  • Neymar Junior's era at Paris Saint-Germain is coming to an end
  • The Brazilian star is reportedly set to join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia
  • He is set to earn a mammoth salary and other financial incentives

Neymar Junior is close to finalising a move to the Saudi Pro League club, Al-Hilal, from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian superstar spent the last six years with the Parisians and reportedly informed the club of his desire to quit last week.

He is expected to sign a two-year deal to become one of Europe's biggest stars to move to Saudi Arabia, following the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Sadio Mane.

The French champions have reportedly been trying to sell Neymar for the past three windows, but an acceptable offer never arrived.

According to Sky Sports, Al-Hilal will pay €90 million for a player that cost PSG a world-record €222mil in 2017.

The 31-year-old injured his ankle in March and missed the rest of the season. Multiple reports have indicated that the Parisians' new manager, Luis Enrique, does not consider him a key player.

Neymar will earn six times more compared to his PSG salary.

Details of Neymar's Al-Hilal deal

Al-Hilal will pay a reported transfer fee of €90mil to PSG to secure the player. Furthermore, the former Barcelona man will earn a mind-boggling salary of €160mil for two seasons.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo will still earn more than Neymar.

In addition to that hefty paycheck, the Brazilian star will receive more perks. For instance, he will get a private plane and a sprawling mansion with dedicated staff to cater to his needs.

In addition, he will receive astonishing financial bonuses and incentives, including reportedly receiving a significant bonus of €80,000 for each Al-Hilal victory.

Off the pitch, Neymar will make €500,000 for each story or post he promotes that highlights Saudi Arabia on social media, per Foot Mercato.

Comparing Ronaldo’s wages to Neymar’s

Sports Brief also compared Neymar's possible wages to Ronaldo's at Al-Nassr. The Brazilian will reportedly make €160mil in the two-year deal, but this is low compared to the Portuguese veteran.

The ex-Real Madrid star was tempted to the Saudi Pro League after leaving Manchester United before the 2022 World Cup, thanks in no small part to an extraordinary offer of £177.1mil per year.
