Neymar’s close friend has revealed the reason why the Brazilian striker decided to leave PSG to go to Al Hilal.

Neymar has just become the most expensive player in Saudi Pro League history when he officially confirmed as a player of Al Hilal for a transfer fee of 90 million euros from PSG.

Neymar also earns a super salary playing football in this Middle Eastern country with an estimated figure of up to 100 million euros a year and becomes the third highest-paid player in the tournament, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

However, all those “crazy” numbers are not the main reason why the 31-year-old striker chose to go to Saudi Arabia to continue his career “in shorts” as well as his new life. this afternoon.

Speaking to ESPN, his close friend Gubela explained the reason for this choice: “That’s what he told me, about the main reason why he did it, I think Neymar is really happy. with that option”.

“He said he would raise his daughter there, and spend as much time as he could with his small family in Saudi Arabia, and it turned out that way.”

“Neymar wants to get away from all the overwhelming and terrible pressure at PSG, the flashy lights that have made him feel tired and depressed, of course can’t get rid of social media, the poison that has destroyed him. it every day”.

Besides, Gubela also confirmed his thoughts that money also played an important role after Neymar’s decision.

“Money is not the main issue, you can put yourself in the same situation and say I will never do like him, it’s a lie. Because the contract is only for 2 years, that’s for sure. you’ll nod and say OK, it’s only been 2 years, right?”.

“Two years is neither short nor long, I think this time is good enough for Neymar, in any way, and he is satisfied with that.”

Coming to Al Hilal with great expectations, however, a serious injury from the time he was on the payroll of PSG made Neymar unable to play and is currently still leaving open the possibility of returning to the pitch soon.
