On August 15, Paris Saint-Germain formalized the departure of Neymar. Pushed towards the exit door after 118 goals in 173 games in all competitions, the 31-year-old Brazilian striker has signed up with Al-Hilal, the Saudi club’s leaders paying around 90 million euros to attract in the Arabian Peninsula the former star of FC Barcelona, linked until 2025 with his new employer.
Presented by his new team, the native of Mogi das Cruzes has not yet made his debut under his new colors. While waiting to see him at work on the lawns of the Saudi Pro League, one of the members of his entourage returned behind the scenes of his arrival in Riyadh, within a workforce also joined by the Senegalese central defender Kalidou Koulibaly, Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic or Brazilian striker Malcom.
“He will stay away from all this pressure”
Interviewed by ESPN, Gabriel explained the reason that pushed the “Ney” to take the direction of Saudi Arabia. According to the words of his friend, the international Auriverde favored the family aspect. “What he told me was this: I’m happy, I’m going to raise my daughter here, I’m going to live with my family for a bit here in Saudi Arabia, and then I’m going to see what happens. There, he will stay away from all this pressure, from all this, of course, today, with social networks. He is not looking for much, but he will live two years with his family, God willing, it will be glory and victory there. He will break records, continue to play and delight the world with football. And then you will think about what you are going to do. That’s what we talked about in the last conversation.”
