Neymar said goodbye to his Paris Saint-Germain teammates, including Kylian Mbappé

After completing his £78 million transfer to Al-Hilal, Neymar said goodbye to his Paris Saint-Germain teammates, including Kylian Mbappé.

 

Neymar, who is leaving PSG for Al-Hilal in a £78 million deal, bid a tearful farewell to his teammates and coaches.

On Thursday morning, Neymar joined the evacuation to Saudi Arabia, as the French club shared a video on social media showing him saying goodbye at the PSG Campus.

 

Despite rumors to the contrary, Kylian Mbappe was even given a warm embrace.

 

After six years in Paris, Neymar has signed a two-year deal with a Saudi club financed by the Public Investment Fund that is said to be worth £130 million per year.

After the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Sadio Mane signed for Pro League clubs in the Middle East, the 31-year-old is the latest football great to be tempted there.

He turned down a one-year loan deal with an option to buy from his previous club Barcelona.

Despite reports that Neymar and Mbappe have a chilly relationship, the two players embraced as they said their goodbyes.

The Brazilian striker liked an Instagram post that included a report from L’Equipe that the French forward had said there was “no more room” for both of them at PSG.

It was reported at the beginning of the previous season that Mbappe was dissatisfied with Neymar’s influence in the locker room, particularly with crucial players Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.

Mbappe had to dispel a rumоr that he wаnted Neymar, then-coach Mauricio Pochettino, and another dozen players out that summer.

Mbappe missed PSG’s season opener last weekend, a goalless draw with Lorient, due to his own contract standoff with the club.

On the same day that Neymar might make his Al-Hilal debut against Al Feiha, he could see action in their second Ligue 1 encounter against Toulouse.

At age 31, Neymar has opted to try something different after being under contract with the French champions until 2027.  

‘It is obviously tough to sаy goodbye to a great of the club, which Neymar will be forever,’ PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelafi said. 

He brought so much to our club and our project over the past six years; I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain. 

Neymar will forever be remembered as a key figure in our incredible history. 

I’d like to extend my gratitude to him and his loved ones. We want the best for Neymar in his future endeavors.

Despite his terrible relationship with PSG, Al-Hilal submitted a world-record offer of £259 million to sign Mbappe.

A number of high-profile players, including Ruben Neves of Wolves, Kalidou Koulibaly of Chelsea, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio, and Malcom of Zenit St. Petersburg, have been acquired by the Saudi team this summer.
