Former Paris Saint-Germain star, Neymar Junior has debunked the speculation in the media sector that he was motivated by money to join the Saudi Pro League.
rather, the former Barcelona star said that he was prompted to join the Saudi Pro League because he was always wanted to be a global star and face new challenges.
The 31-year-old Brazilian star made the disclosure while addressing the press conference on Wednesday.
Neymar joined Al Hilal on a 2-year deal wirth £129.4 million per year, an average of £2.5m per week salary.
With a good number of years ahead of him to play, Neymar has been accused of leaving Europe because of the eye-watering cash he has been offered in Saudi.
According to him, “I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges & opportunities in new places. I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy & quality players at the moment,” Neymar said.
