Al-Hilal, a prominent club in the Saudi Pro League, is gearing up to make headlines with a remarkable proposition.
Brazilian midfield maestro Neymar is poised to be compensated a staggering £430,000 for every social media post that features content aimed at promoting Saudi Arabia.
This eye-popping package is a component of the comprehensive arrangement encompassed within the £130 million annual deal, which is expected to facilitate Neymar’s shift from Paris Saint-Germain, the renowned French football powerhouse.
Amidst rumors of diverse European clubs, including Chelsea, vying for Neymar’s attention, the 31-year-old superstar is on the verge of inking a two-year contract with the Saudi club.
If this move materializes, Neymar would join the ranks of esteemed football luminaries who have ventured to the Gulf nation, like Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves.
With his medical assessment having been carried out on Monday, the completion of a £73 million contract is well within sight for Neymar.
As disclosed by the Daily Mail, the former Barcelona sensation stands to earn a substantial £430,000 for each post or story he shares on social media platforms that promotes Saudi Arabia’s interests.
Neymar’s considerable online following of 62.5 million on X app (formerly Twitter) and a staggering 212 million on Instagram underpins the magnetic appeal of this deal, which extends beyond financial remuneration.
In addition to the social media incentive, the arrangement includes perks such as a private aircraft and luxurious accommodations for both Neymar and his expectant girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi.
A dedicated support staff, including housekeepers, further complements this lavish package.
Having embarked on his journey with Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, Neymar’s prolific contributions include 118 goals across 173 appearances, coupled with clinching five Ligue 1 titles and three Coupe de France trophies.
