The era when the top five leagues in Europe solely dominated soccer club competitions is a thing of the past. A fresh contender has entered the scene, with the Saudi Pro League rising as the dominant force. Signing major players remains crucial as Neymar packed his bags for the Middle East. By transferring the sensational Brazilian to Al-Hilal, the move from Europe offers a potential showdown between Cristiano Ronaldo in the future. The transfer move has fans excited as the Brazilian will now attract new eyeballs to the league.
Similarly to the El Classico, the Al Hilal, and Al Nassr matchup would be sensational for the entire community. Notably, a famous sports financial analyst, Joe Pompliano, detailed Neymar’s move at the peak of his career. For him, the deal looks perfect for PSG’s former player.

The Brazilian moved for $98.3 million with other financial add-ons and bonuses. For a player criticized for off-field issues and injury concerns, Joe believes he nurtured out an astute deal. In a recent podcast, Pompliano commented, “Neymar ended up doing it at 31 years old despite a bunch of other players like Ronaldo, like Messi, Benzema winning Ballon d’Ors in their 30s, meanwhile left at 31, because he was not going to get an offer close to someone else. Who wants Neymar right?”
For years, he entertained fans with samba skills and Ronaldinho-esque creativity on the pitch. But recently, injuries dampened his progress, and the failure to win the UEFA Champions League proved indecisive. Despite wanting to leave the French club, the potential suitors remained scarce. And so, he took the best deal he was offered. Pompliano continued, “You can talk about the skill. You can talk about he is an amazing player, amazing talent. But, with some concerns about fitness and other things off the field and like that, there is not a serious team who is willing to pay top dollar for him to come.”
As for Neymar, he received the perfect deal one could ask for. Apart from the $100 million-a-year contract, the bonuses and perks are endless. Joe ended by stating, “Both for the transfer fee and also on a salary basis. So Saudi was by far the best option. He gave PSG out, and it gave Neymar a bunch of cash. That’s great for all parties involved.”
