“I will never forget the day he arrived at PSG, nor what he brought to the club and our project over these six years. We have lived through extraordinary times, and Neymar will always be a part of our history. I want to thank him, as well as his family. We wish Neymar the best for the future and his next adventure,” said Al Khelaifi in an official press release from the club.
With this latest move to Saudi Arabia, throughout his career so far, clubs have spent a total of €369m to acquire his services.
