Why I left PSG for Saudi Arabian club – Neymar
Former Paris Saint-Germain sensation Neymar has emphatically denied succumbing to the allure of money as he embarks on a new chapter in his illustrious career within the Saudi Pro League.
Neymar penned a two-year deal with Al Hilal, a decision that comes with an eye-popping annual salary of £129.4 million. While critics have been quick to point fingers at the financial windfall, Neymar’s unwavering assertion challenges the narrative.
The Brazilian dynamo vehemently refutes claims that his move to the Middle East is solely driven by monetary gains. Rather, he lays bare his profound aspiration to transcend borders and become a genuine global force in the world of sports.
“Europe has been an incredible journey filled with cherished memories and triumphs,” Neymar expressed. “But there’s always been a burning desire within me to be more than just a footballer – to embrace fresh challenges, to test my mettle in uncharted territories.”
In an exclusive interview, Neymar shed light on his motivation, channeling his inner pioneer. “I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places.
“I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment.”
