It is true that high salaries are the key for top European players like Neymar to join the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal, there are many reasons behind this transfer process. It is reported that Neymar is no longer wanted by Luis Enrique, and is currently at odds with another PSG star Mbappe. But I myself can not confirm the truth of this news, at first glance I think it makes sense.
Neymar presence at Al Hilal further complements and sharpens their attack line, for the adaptation process I think Neymar will not find it difficult, except for being hit by an injury.
Saudi clubs are just trying to make news and get enough attention of the football lovers with money and huge signings. To be honest I feel like they are still far from getting to a level where PL and other league competition is.
As for Neymar, good for him as he is getting a huge contract as his career was becoming more and more uncertain at PSG. PSG is kinda club who ditches player too easily. Also there wasn't a club interested like Al-Hilal with huge proposal. It was obvious where he was gonna go and it was a perfect time I would say for Neymar.
They're are trying to build their league and it very popular so they're doing everything possible to make sure they get top European players across the continent that would help them make the league more popular and competitive and if you noticed in the final match against Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr you'll notice that the number of European players in both teams dragged alot of attention and got more viewers and publications than before, they might not be in the level of other top leagues but in the near future in they continue in this manner to lure quality players they'll gradually get close to the level of other top leagues.
Neymar saw an opportunity he'll never get at PSG and took advantage of it, he's currently one of the highest earning footballers in the world all thanks to his decision to move to Al-Hilal where he'll get more playing time and earn huge salary.
It's a very good retirement plan with good benefits for those players who are moving to the Arab Pro League.
The move for Neymar is a win for him. At the age of 31? For £130million? Most times, I wonder why I never had the courage to pursue a career playing football.
Even Ballin d'or winners go there to retire and still play, instead of being redundant or go back to school because they have become too slow for fast leagues like premier league, champions league.
Benzema, Ronaldo, Mendy, Fabinho, Koulibaly, Jota, Mane, Kante among other bests have enjoyed a good deal moving to their respective Arab Pro League sides.
