Brazil forward Neymar is headed for Saudi Arabia after Pro League side Al Hilal agreed a two-year deal with Paris St Germain, Saudi state media reported on Monday (Aug 14). There was no immediate comment from the Ligue 1 champions, owned by Qatar Sports Investments, but French newspaper L'Equipe said the deal could net 31-year-old Neymar €160 million (US$175 million). The transfer fee was reported to be about €90 million plus add-ons and subject to completing a medical. Al Hilal, managed by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, play Al Fayha on Saturday, with Neymar expected to wear the number 10 shirt. Multiple sources said he had hoped to return to Barcelona on a loan agreement but the Spanish side's financial issues had made that unaffordable.
