Paris: Brazil forward Neymar Jr has signed for Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain, the clubs announced on Tuesday, joining Cristiano ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

"I am here in Saudi Arabia, I am Hilali," Neymar said in a video posted to Al Hilal's social media accounts.

" It is always difficult to say goodbye to an amazing player like Neymar, one of the best players in the world," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, President and CEO of Paris Saint-Germain.

"I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, and what he has contributed to our Club and our project over the last 6 years. We had a great moment and Neymar will always be a big part of our history. I would like to thank Neymar and his family. We wish Neymar all the very best for the future and his next adventure," he added.

Neymar, 31, scored 118 goals in 173 matches for PSG in six injury-plagued seasons. He won five Ligue 1 titles and three French Cups, but was on the losing side as PSG were beaten by Bayern Munich in the 2020 Champions League final.

Beyond the statistics, he has thrilled the Parc des Princes crowd with some of his trademark technical skill. Neymar is currently his country's joint top scorer, on a par with Pele.
