During a sequence shared on social media this Sunday, Neymar can be seen attempting to converse with his new Al-Hilal teammate Kalidou Koulibaly in French. However, the Brazilian admitted that he only speaks a little French, despite his 6 years at PSG.
Last Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain surprised the football world by announcing the departure of Brazilian striker Neymar to the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. The transfer, valued at 90 million euros, marks the end of an era at PSG. The 31-year-old forward has already joined his new teammates, including Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly. The two men have even met, as shown in a sequence shared on social media on Sunday.
Kalidou Koulibaly then attempted to converse with his new teammate in French, but to no avail. “French? A little bit,” Neymar replied, laughing. As a reminder, Neymar spent 6 years at PSG, joining the club in the summer of 2017 in a record-breaking transfer of 222 million euros.
Neymar was introduced to his new supporters on Saturday. While fans eagerly await his debut in the Al-Hilal jersey, there is a slight delay due to a minor injury. However, the team’s coach, Jorge Jesus, optimistically assures that Neymar will soon be fit to play and showcase his exceptional talents on the field. The wait will certainly be worth it!
