Neymar Jr has reportedly agreed a deal to join Saudi Arabian side, Al Hilal, as the Brazilian prepares to undergo a medical this afternoon.
PSG are set to lose another superstar, as the Brazilian winger nears a move to Saudi Arabia and is hours way from finalising his move to Al Hilal.
Lionel Messi has already left the club this summer and his former teammate, Neymar Jr, will now leave the club following a stellar career in Europe.
Neymar is regarded as one of the best players in his generation, from his time in Barcelona where he contributed to 181 goals in 186 appearances. This saw him switch Spain for France, as he signed for Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 – making 173 appearances, so far.
The 2022-23 was a frustrating time for the 31-year-old, despite scoring 18 goals in 29 appearances, in all competitions. Neymar has been out of action since the beginning of February, after suffering an ankle injury against Lille.
Missing the last three months due to ankle surgery has surrounded the Brazilian’s future in doubt, as the club are unsure if he can return to his best.
Neymar has two years years remaining on his current deal, meaning this move to Saudi Arabia will reportedly cost around £90m.

As Saudi Arabia prepare to bid for a future World Cup, the nation have welcomed an abundance of top talent in hopes of strengthening their chances.
A host of Europe’s best players have moved to Saudi Arabia this summer, after Cristiano Ronaldo paved the way in January as he signed for Al-Nassr from Manchester United.
Current Balon D’Or winner, Karim Benzema, ended his long spell at Real Madrid and joined Al-Ittihad – in a deal that is set to earn the Frenchman £100m a year.
The latest player to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia is Kylian Mbappe, however, the Frenchman rejected the opportunity and will now return to Paris.
Neymar is set to join Al Hilal on a two-year deal, with the option to extend by a further year.
