Neymar ‘wanted by Al-Hilal as Saudi club sends representatives to Paris for talks after missing out on Messi transfer’
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN superstar Neymar is being targeted by Al-Hilal ahead of the summer transfer window.
The star forward, who joined PSG on a world record £198million transfer in 2017, looks set to leave Paris.
The French champions are looking for a major revamp with stars like Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, who joined Inter Miami, already out.
According to CBS Sports, Neymar could be next as Al-Hilal representatives flew to the French capital on Friday hoping to seal a deal with him.
The Saudi giants initially hoped to land Messi but the Argentina captain opted for the MLS.
Therefore, Al-Hilal have turned their attention to the Brazil international and are willing to offer a mammoth wage package.
The 31-year-old’s salary would be in line with Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s whopping £171million per year.
Al-Hilal, who are owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, look set to offer PSG close to £40m for Neymar, whose contract runs out in 2025.
The Brazilian has also been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle have all been touted as potential destinations for the Barcelona hero.

If Neymar decides to roll credits on his European career he will be joining a number of fellow stars in the Middle East.
That includes Karim Benzema, who moved to Al-Ittihad from Real Madrid.
The same club, which is also owned by the PIF, looks set to agree terms with Chelsea star N’Golo Kante.
