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.
