PSG star Neymar is ‘close to agreeing personal terms with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal’
Neymar is ‘close to agreeing personal terms with Suai Pro League side AL-Hilal’, reports have said.
PSG are believed to have accepted a bid for the forward on Saturday after both parties agreed he should leave this summer.
He was left out of the match day squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Lorient on Saturday, which ended as a goalless draw.
ESPN claim the French giants want £80 million for the 31-year-old, but that negotiations are ‘progressing well’.
If he does leave, it will end a spell of mixed success in the French capital. The Brazilian forward moved to Paris from Barcelona in 2017 and has racked up 118 games in 173 appearances for the club.
He has won five Ligue 1 titles and three Coupe de France trophies, but has not added to the one Champions League he won in Spain.
A number of MLS clubs had also been interested in Neymar, but he now looks set to link up with Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly at the Saudi outfit.
The same team made a world-record offer of £259 million for his teammate Kylian Mbappe, who rejected the move despite his poor relations with PSG.
Mbappe does now look set to see out his contract in Paris after re-joining the first team.
