The future of Neymar Jr. continues to be shrouded in uncertainty. Over the last few days, the 31-year-old’s name has filled up the transfer rumor mill. Now the whispers could soon become a reality.
L’Equipe reports that there are ongoing negotiations between PSG and Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Despite the speculation surrounding a potential transfer, no concrete agreement for the Brazilian.
Talks have intensified recently with Al-Hilal, who have sent Neymar a desirable financial offer. However, nothing has been signed yet, but negotiations are progressing very quickly.

The Brazilian is seriously considering continuing his career in Saudi. In recent days, Neymar has also initiated or continued talks with at least four clubs interested in securing his services.
Furthermore, the French media outlet notes that the Saudi club’s financial resources are a potential solution to two key challenges.
Al-Hilal can provide a solution to what’s standing in the way of Neymar’s move: Matching his substantial wage demands and meeting PSG’s anticipated transfer fee.
If a move transpires, it explains why the Ligue 1 giants are pulling all the stops for one last Hail Mary to extend Kylian Mbappé.
