Teammates Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappé of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club are poised to part ways.
According to reports, Neymar Jr. is on the verge of signing a lucrative contract with the Saudi Arabia-based team Al-Hilal.
According to football reporter Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian star has verbally committed to joining Al-Hilal, with both parties currently finalizing the contract details.
Neymar’s agreement with Al-Hilal follows days of rumors suggesting that he is contemplating a return to FC Barcelona on a reduced financial contract.
Upon finalizing the deal, Neymar will become the second prominent football figure to make a move to Saudi Arabia, following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr.
In the meantime, Mbappé has reached an agreement to remain with PSG FC for the time being, following a tense negotiation between the two sides last month.
In a statement, PSG, the reigning Ligue 1 champions, announced the reintegration of the French star into their first team.
Before reintegrating Mbappé into PSG’s primary squad, the French player also received an offer from Al-Hilal, which he turned down.
