Al Hilal has found replacements for Neymar in the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Victor Osimhen, and Mohammed Salah. As per La Gazzetta Sport, Al Hilal is considering a replacement for Neymar and dreams of signing a player from this trio in January, “Mbappe, Salah, and Osimhen.” Neymar’s injury will keep him sidelined for more than eight months. Mbappe was heavily linked with a move to Al Hilal earlier this season. The talented Frenchmen decided to stay with PSG despite being offered a mammoth contract.

Al Hilal leads the Saudi league with ten games played. They remain the only unbeaten side in the league this season. The Al Za’eem have won the last six games consecutively in all competitions. They also have the joint-best defense in the league, conceding only seven goals. Despite their impeccable form, the club will be affected by the loss of their superstar, Neymar, both on and off the pitch. Now, the lucrative contract with the Brazilian might sting the Saudi giants.

Neymar has a monstrous contract with the Saudi club

Neymar has a luxurious contract with the Al Hilal. He will earn a staggering $400 million, including his salary and commercial deals. Apart from the salary, he will receive a bonus of $87,000 for every game he features in and wins. This is not the end!

Neymar will receive an additional $543,200 for every social media post where he promotes Saudi Arabia. Apart from money, he has also been offered luxurious cars, including a Lamborghini Huracan, an Aston Martin, and a Bentley Continental GP. A private jet has also been offered to the superstar.
