Al-Hilal's acquisition of Neymar Junior marks the latest high-profile entrant into the Saudi Pro League.

The substantial funds on offer in Saudi Arabia have facilitated the Brazilian superstar's move from Paris Saint-Germain in France to the Riyadh-based team.

Neymar's move entails a staggering sum of between €200 million and €350mil over two years, placing him just behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in terms of earnings.

However, it turns out the transfer was not limited to financials alone, with several additional demands being fulfilled to secure Neymar's signature.

And these demands aren't exactly modest, as The Sun has revealed.

Alongside several cars, Neymar's wish list included a mansion with 25 bedrooms, three saunas, a colossal 40x10 meter swimming pool, and even a private plane.

Neymar's vehicle request from Al-Hilal

Shifting the spotlight to automobiles, Neymar's initial stipulation was said to include a round-the-clock chauffeur and a dedicated vehicle.

The former Barcelona star asked Al-Hilal's owners for three luxury cars for himself and for his entourage to have four Mercedes G Wagons and a Mercedes van with a driver.

Per Marca, a demand was to have a Mercedes-Benz van on standby for his personal use or that of his family and friends.

The former Barcelona star also reportedly requested a Mercedes G-Class Wagon in his garage - a high-end SUV frequently favoured by footballers.

This choice aligns well with the road conditions in Saudi Arabia and would prove advantageous for navigating the desert landscapes that dominate the region, including the areas where the Dakar Rally takes place.

The forward is also claimed to have demanded an Aston Martin DBX, a crossover SUV which has been hailed by Formula 1 driver, Fernando Alonso.

This vehicle is an ideal companion to the G-Class, offering a blend of refinement and performance more attuned to racing than rugged terrains, in contrast to the Mercedes' off-road focus.

As for a sporty ride, the Lamborghini Huracan also finds a place on the reported list of desired vehicles for the Al-Hilal star in his new footballing homeland.

Acquiring these eight 'monsters' would contribute roughly €1.5 million to the overall sum of the transfer deal.

Among the notable additions to Neymar's new dressing room are Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, and former Barcelona talent, Malcom.

In 2017, PSG made a staggering £198mil payment to secure the Brazilian's transfer from the La Liga giants, making him the world's costliest player at the time.

Ronaldo credited for Neymar's move

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Cristiano Ronaldo being hailed for Neymar's move to the Saudi Pro League.

Many fans have acknowledged that the Portuguese veteran's move to Al-Nassr opened the proverbial doors.
