Neymar Sells Over 10,000 Jerseys After Moving to Riyadh

The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that over 10,000 jerseys for Brazilian Neymar were sold within seven hours of the official announcement of his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. The 31-year-old Neymar will wear the number 10 jersey for the club, which is nicknamed "The Leader" in Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday evening, Al-Hilal, which has won the Saudi league 18 times (a record) and the AFC Champions League four times (also a record), will hold a presentation event for the "Samba Dancer" before their match in the second round of the league against Al-Faiza at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, according to Agence France-Presse.

A source in Saudi Arabia indicated that Neymar will receive a massive salary estimated at €100 million (approximately $109 million) annually under a two-year contract, with the same amount paid by Al-Hilal to Paris Saint-Germain as a transfer fee, according to Agence France-Presse.
