One of the greatest players of all-time, Neymar is Brazil’s joint all-time top scorer with Pele, having scored 77 goals for the Selecao in 124 caps, making him the sixth highest active international top scorer. He captained Brazil to Olympic gold in Rio 2016, having also won silver in London 2012 and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup with his country.

 

Having started his career at Santos, Neymar moved to Barcelona in 2013, forming part of their historic front three commonly known as MSN alongside Leo Messi and Luis Suarez, leading the Catalan club to the treble of La Liga, Copa del Ray and UEFA Champions League in 2014-15. He then moved to PSG, winning five consecutive league titles and Ligue 1 player of the year in 2017-18.

The Brazilian joins a collection of stars who have signed for the Riyadh-based club this summer, including his compatriot Malcom as well as midfielder duo Ruben Neves and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic and Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly.

 

Al Hilal finished third in the 2022-23 Saudi Pro League season and are set to compete in the AFC Champions League™ 2023-24. They started their domestic league campaign with a 3-1 away win over Abha on Monday, with Malcom bagging all three goals.

 

The 31-year-old could make his debut on Saturday when Al Hilal host fellow AFC Champions League participants Al Fayha at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Matchday Two of the Saudi Pro League.
