Al-Hilal are reportedly ready to send out a delegation to negotiate with Brazilian forward Neymar about a shock transfer to the Saudi side.
L’Equipe reported yesterday that the former Barcelona star may well be on his way out of PSG with the forward keen on leaving the Parc Des Princes.
Chelsea were reportedly in ongoing negotiations for the forward according to French outlet, RMC Sport. But now, it seems the Saudi side could be ready to hijack any deal for the forward, with the Brazilian being that star player that the Saudi side has been looking for.
According to a report from French outlet FootMercato, the Gulf state outfit are looking to send out a delegation in order to meet with the Brazilian international’s father over a potential transfer.
The report states the Saudi side are very interested in the Brazilian forward but whether a move for the 31-year-old will materialise remains to be seen.
Al-Hilal desperate for world-class addition
After trying and failing in a deal to sign Kylian Mbappe, due to the player’s reluctance to join the club according to Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi side are doing its best to sign a world-class player and Neymar is now seemingly the one.
Another player that Al-Hilal have tried to sign is Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward almost singlehandedly won Napoli their first Scudetto since 1990, but the Italian side were unwilling to sell the forward despite receiving offers of around €130 million from the Saudi side according to Il Mattino.
Neymar’s qualities are well-known to the footballing world, his showboating abilities but also his ability to consistently score and assist as a high level for both Barcelona and PSG makes him a superb asset for any side.
With 13 goals and 11 assists in just 20 Ligue 1 games and 13 goals and six assists in the season before, the Brazilian forward would be a superb signing for Al-Ahli.
