After recruiting Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Al-Hilal continued to shock with the Neymar deal. In the clip launching the new team, Neymar excitedly said: “I am in Saudi Arabia and am a big fan of Al-Hilal”. Here, Neymar signed a 2-year contract and pocketed 160 million euros/season. This is a much larger number than the salary of 40 million euros/season he used to receive at PSG. But that is nothing compared to the privileges that Neymar enjoys at Al-Hial, even though PSG also pampered him very much.
Specifically, Neymar is granted a private plane to travel during the contract period with Al-Hilal. The former Barca star was also given a villa near the club’s stadium for easy access to the training ground and the playing field. In terms of bonus terms, Neymar will pocket 80,000 euros for each win of Al-Hilal. And yet, the number 1 star in Brazil will receive 500,000 euros for each post on the social networking site to promote the image of Saudi Arabia.
Recently, Neymar has soon brought profits to the new club thanks to his great charisma. As revealed by L’Equipe (France), just 7 hours after announcing the completion of the recruitment procedure for Neymar, Al-Hilal sold more than 10,000 shirts with the Brazilian striker’s name and number on it.
This is unprecedented in Saudi Arabia. Even, according to some sources, at Al-Hilal’s official shirt shop, there was a phenomenon of tearing between fans. Neymar’s shirt fell into a state of “sold out”.
The above information is also enough to show the great attraction of Neymar. The Saudi Arabian National Championship (Saudi Pro League) has gathered many big stars such as Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, N’Golo Kante, Jordan Henderson or Riyad Mahrez… but Neymar creates different values.
After landing at Al-Hilal, Neymar was given the familiar number 10 shirt. He was even given the Al-Hilal captain’s armband. In the second round of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal will have a reception for Al-Feiha at home. This may also be Neymar’s debut in the new team. This match is expected to attract a very large number of fans.
