Riyadh | Brazilian soccer star Neymar is headed for Saudi Arabia after agreeing on a deal to leave Paris St Germain, Saudi state media reported, making him the latest multimillion-dollar addition to the kingdom’s rapidly expanding sporting ambitions.
The transfer fee was reported to be about €90 million euros ($152 million) plus add-ons and subject to completing a medical, although French newspaper L’Equipe said the two-year deal could net 31-year-old Neymar €160 million.
