Neymar is expected to arrive in Riyadh on Wednesday to be presented to fans at the King Fahd Stadium.
The transfer fee was reported to be about €90 million plus add-ons and subject to completing a medical. Neymar, who joined PSG in 2017 from Spanish club Barcelona for a world record transfer fee of €222 million, missed PSG’s league opener against Lorient on Saturday due to a viral infection. Al Hilal had tried to sign PSG’s French international Kylian Mbappe, who was reinstated into the Paris club’s first team yesterday.
Strengthening the squad is a priority for the Riyadh-based club, as the Saudi Public Investment Fund announced in June an investment and privatisation project for sports clubs involving league champions Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Hilal.
