Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal Club has announced that it has agreed terms to sign prolific goal scorer Neymar Jr, who moves from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
He joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema as the latest big name lured to the kingdom's clubs recently.
The deal for the former Barcelona player, 31, is understood to be worth about 90m euros plus add-ons, according to a BBC report.
The Brazilian star will join the Riyadh-based club of the Roshn Saudi League (Saudi Pro League) on an initial two-year period until at least 2025.
Paris Saint German (PSG) also announced the departure of Neymar Jr. after six years with the French team. The striker, who joined PSG for a world-record fee of £200 million ($254 million) in 2017, was left out of their squad for Saturday's Ligue 1 draw against Lorient.
