The 31-year-old made it clear to PSG chiefs earlier this month that he wanted to leave Parc des Princes.

He has now penned a two-year deal to play in the Saudi Pro League.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Neymar will earn in the region of £257million over two seasons.

This equates to around £2.5m a week.

Neymar’s total financial package could then rise as high as £314m for just two seasons – depending on add-ons and commercial deals.

Upon his arrival, the former Barcelona star said: “I am here in Saudi Arabia, I am Hilali.”

Neymar played 173 times for PSG, scoring 118 goals and laying on 77 assists.

He won five Ligue 1 titles, three Coupes de France, two Coupes de la Ligue and was a Champions League runner-up during his time in Paris.

The Brazil star becomes the latest in a long line of high-profile players to move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

He joins Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Malcom at Al-Hilal.

While the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez are among those to have also moved to the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal are also chasing Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

SunSport revealed that the Saudi side have made a £43million bid for the Serbian ace.

Al-Hilal are hopeful of completing a deal for the 28-year-old, but are unlikely to bid any higher should Fulham reject their latest offer.
