Far from Europe, in Saudi Arabia where he plays for Al Hilal, Neymar continues to spark debates on the old continent. The latest to discuss the case of the Brazilian forward is former Bayern player, Paul Breitner, who has criticized the auriverde star for his style of play.
Following in the footsteps of several soccer stars, Neymar is also continuing his career in Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian striker has joined Al Hilal club. The auriverde star has signed a two-year contract with the legendary Saudi club, which has broken the bank to cater to all the whims of their new star. The former Barcelona player will earn over 100 million euros annually in salary, along with other lavish benefits.
This transfer continues to generate debates on the continent. While some regret this surprising destination for the PSG goal scorer, who was courted by Barcelona, Manchester United, and even Liverpool, others see it as a good riddance of a player who has been nothing but a source of problems. This is the opinion of former Bayern Munich legend, Paul Breitner, who has criticized the 31-year-old center forward for his style of play.
“Thank you, dear Saudis, for buying Mr. Neymar, who has been one of the most sly footballers in recent years. A player who does nothing but dive. Thank you very much, we no longer have to endure him,” said the former German international in an interview with Bild.
After six seasons with PSG, the “legend” Neymar, as he was called by Parisian president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is now continuing his career in the Gulf. His transfer earned the French capital club around 100 million euros.
