Neymar, the Brazilian football sensation, in his first-ever interview for the new Club Al-Hilal, confessed that Cristiano Ronaldo inspired him and other footballers to move to Saudi. While talking to AfricanNews, he said, ” I am very excited, competition is very important for me. I believe Cristiano Ronaldo started all this, and everybody called him c***y and this and that.”

The 31-year-old has completed a 98 million euros move to the Riyadh Club. He also requested all the Brazilian fans to support and follow his new league. With Neymar’s move, Asian Football has a big prospect of following the sport with even more interest. Kalidou Koulibaly, Riyadh Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and others have also completed their moves to the Saudi Pro League.

Neymar is excited about the new challenges on his feet and is eager to show off his worth to his new fans. He was inspired by Ronaldo’s courage to believe in the prospect of the Middle East and set in a foundation for other players in Europe to follow. His time at his former club in Paris will always be a Twilight’esque story to be told by fans, where he became the player tagged, “What could have been?”

His stint of six seasons with the club never saw him lift the UEFA Champions League. It comes as a surprise to football fans that his tally would eventually remain consisting of the only title he won back at Barcelona. Neymar will now be playing against some of Europe’s top players who also made their moves to elevate and enjoy the Saudi Pro League.

From a 24*7 chauffeur for his family and friends to a personal chef or three saunas or a refrigerator always filled with Guarana or Acai drinks, the details of the deal could certainly make a web series of its own.

According to the Mirror, Neymar could reportedly be earning £173.8 million per year in his new club making him the third highest-paid footballer in the league behind Ronaldo and Benzema. Neymar has also reportedly asked for multiple cars for himself and his entourages. To list a few, Bentley Continental GP, an Aston Martin DBX, and a Lamborghini Huracan.

He also has a personal swimming pool in his new home. While some footballers prefer legacy, some also prefer impact and fame. From George Best to Maradona, the sport has always been filled with superstars who influence the world. Neymar’s recent world-record move to Al-Hilal is definitely of such stature.
