Neymar Jnr since joining Al-Hilal
Neymar joined Al-Hilal on a two-year deal after six years with Paris St. Germain. The deal was reported to be around 90 million euros ($98.24 million) plus add-ons and subject to a medical for the Brazilian forward.
A season marred by an ACL injury has seen him sidelined for majority of the season, which has seen him play just five games for the Saudi Pro League champions.
