Neymar Set To Join Ronaldo, Above Kante As Top-5 Highest Paid In Saudi League by tundetech5: 7:44am On Aug 15, 2023
Neymar Jr has reportedly agreed to join Al-Hilal from PSG, and will expectedly become one of the highest earning players in the league, but how high?

According to reports from multiple sources, Brazilian superstar Neymar is set to join Saudi Professional League side Al-Hilal on a permanent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

The 31-year-old joined the French side in the summer of 2017 and was heralded as the star of a dominant PSG in European competitions.

Although he did manage to reach the Champions League semi-final and final with the Parisians, injuries blighted his career at the club, and he never managed to reach the lofty heights his talents promised.

The French champions are seemingly going in a new direction, and according to reports, this did not include Neymar; hence, they put him on the transfer list. Al-Hilal are said to have matched PSG's ask, and the player will now ply his trade in the Saudi Professional League.

How much will Neymar earn in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi League have gained fame this year for the lucrative contracts they hand out to players, and a player of Neymar's talent is not left behind.

According to reports, he has agreed to a two-year deal that will reportedly pay him £1.7 million weekly, making an annual salary of £86.4 million, according to InsideSport. This immediately makes him a top-five earner in the Saudi Professional League.

This is a significant increase from his reported over £30 million salary, and according to reports, his Saudi deal includes a number of incentives.

Top 5 earners in Saudi Professional League
Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo remains the top earner in the league despite the influx of highly rated players into the league.

Neymar only comes in third, behind another ex-Real Madrid star Karim Benzema. N'golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez make up the rest of the top

List of top 5 earners in the Saudi Pro League per InsideSport (approximated)

Player Annual Wage
Cristiano Ronaldo £173 million
Karim Benzema £172 million
Neymar jr £86.4 million
N'golo Kante £86.2 million
Riyad Mahrez £45 million'

The only player that would have earned higher is Mapped but the young man decided to remain with PSG.

See money on.

The one that surprised me most is that of Neymar, I can't believe it.

But since money is involved, anything fit possible.

Although I respect both Messi and CR7 so much, this is Ronaldo's effect again.

Nobody talks about the Saudi Arabia League before and all of a sudden top players in Europe are going there now.
