Despite $175,000,000 Payday, Neymar Jr & Pregnant Girlfriend Bruna Biancardi Allowed to Break Major Saudi Arabia Law: Reports

Neymar to Al Hilal is almost a done deal. The Brazilian soccer icon has reportedly signed a two-year deal with the Saudi Pro League club. He joins the major bandwagon of players who left Europe to join a new soccer movement. Recently, a report suggested that the former PSG star has been allowed by the Saudi authorities to break a certain local law. Interestingly, Cristiano Ronaldo faced the same situation in January.

Reportedly, he will cash out $175 million as his base wage per season. Additionally, the Saudi-based club has also agreed on several mouth-watering bonuses for the soccer veteran.

What law did the authorities allow Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo to break?

Without a doubt, Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr in January was a shocking one. Nobody expected the Portuguese soccer legend to leave European soccer. But the soccer project in Saudi Arabia convinced him and decided to sign for it. Interestingly, Saudi had to make an exception for the soccer legend. That’s mainly because couples are not allowed to live in the same home if they’re not married.

Ronaldo and his longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez haven’t tied the knot yet. Possibly considering the long-term gains behind signing the soccer legend, the authorities decided to overlook their marriage and housing law in this case. Well, a report suggests that the same is about to happen in Neymar’s case too. O Globo claimed that the authorities have given permission for Neymar and his girlfriend to live together.

Similar to Ronaldo, even Neymar hasn’t tied the knot with Bruna Biancardi. In a few months, they will welcome their newborn daughter into the world. It will be interesting to see where the celebrity couple decides to have the baby. Rest assured, he is heading for a major paycheque for the next two years at least. What are some of the other perks that Al Hilal has offered him? Let’s dive deeper.

Details from Neymar’s jaw-dropping contract with Al Hilal

$175 million is reportedly Neymar’s base wage per season at Al Hilal as per O Globo. Apart from that, he also has a few more benefits. For every game that he wins at the club, the Brazilian soccer icon will earn about $87k. Along with his better half, he will live in a humongous home with staff as well. Additionally, he will also have a private plane at his disposal. However, that’s not the end of it.

Further, he will earn $547k for each social media story or post that he publishes, with the intention of promoting Saudi Arabia on his social media handles. From a financial standpoint, this seems like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Neymar. But many individuals from the fanbase are quite upset about his decision to move out of Europe over a possible return to Barcelona or a transfer elsewhere.
