“Few People Know” – Allowed to Break Saudi Law, Neymar Has No Regrets Signing for Al Hilal

Al Hilal signed Neymar Jr. from PSG in a deal worth $98 million. After losing out on many top talents, Al Hilal was finally able to close a deal with PSG. Neymar signed a two-year deal with the Saudi club and was offered $175 million for his services. However, the Saudi club did more than just offer high wages. In his recent interview, the Brazilian talked about how he is happy with his decision.

To get him to the club, the Saudis provided leniency and allowed Neymar and his girlfriend to reside in the same abode. As per Saudi laws, unmarried couples can’t reside in the same residence. Neymar is the second soccer player who has been offered this privilege. Earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez were also allowed to break the law and stay together. And Neymar says he has no regrets about joining Al Hilal.

Neymar said, “It’s a new culture, but I’m happy with the decision I’ve made and for the future ahead of me. Few people know what happened to make me go to Al-Hilal, but no one needs to know about my life.”

Neymar remarks upsets France

Neymar was never really a fan choice at PSG. There are many reasons as to why everything unfolded in such a manner but one thing is for sure that both the club and the player wanted to end the terms. There have been concerns regarding a power clash between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr. Both players have been on and off terms during the Brazilian international’s stay at Parc Des Princes.

Neymar has been unlucky with injuries. He has missed out on a lot of important games because of prolonged injuries. In his 6 years with PSG, the Brazilian has only played 112 games in Ligue 1. The signing of Lionel Messi was expected to fulfill the club’s dream of winning the Champions League. However, a strained relationship with the fans and internal disputes soon saw both the ex-Barcelona players move out of the club.
