Neymar and Lee Kang-in have said their final goodbyes.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) released a video through the club’s official social media channels on the 17th (KST), saying, ‘PSG players and Neymar said a warm farewell at the PSG campus. Merci Neymar,” and released a video. Neymar visited the PSG training center and greeted the players one by one. He shook hands with Ashraf Hakimi, Juan Bernat, and others and said a few words. Neymar then walked over to Lee, who was training on his stomach, and reached out to shake his hand, and Lee got up to shake Neymar’s hand for a final goodbye.
Afterward, Neymar was given an “Indian rice” ceremony by his teammates on the outdoor training field, where they shared one last moment together. Neymar took one last photo with the players on the training ground to remember his last moments, and his best friend Lee Kang-in was all smiles.
But it was the meeting with Kylian Mbappe that caught our eye. Neymar and Mbappe have been rumored to have a falling out, but in the video, Neymar and Mbappe share a final handshake and hug, putting the rumors to rest.
Neymar eventually left PSG. His destination was Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal. Al Hilal officially announced Neymar’s departure on the club’s official social media accounts on June 16. The transfer fee and salary were not disclosed, but they are astronomical. Fabrizio Romano, one of the most respected authorities on the European transfer market, wrote on social media, “The transfer fee is just under €100 million. Neymar will receive a record-breaking $300 million over two years. There is no contract extension clause. Neymar’s salary can potentially rise to $400 million (approximately KRW 534.2 billion) by 2025, depending on bonus clauses and commercial deals. That’s more than double what was originally reported.
PSG also announced Neymar’s departure. ‘Neymar wowed the fans at the Parc des Princes with his incredible skills,’ PSG said. Neymar has also made history with the Brazilian national team. He scored 77 goals in 124 appearances, tying him with Pele as the country’s top scorer. PSG President Nasser El-Khelaifi added: “It is always difficult to say goodbye to a player of Neymar’s caliber, one of the best players in the world, and I will never forget what he has brought to our club and our project over the past six years, from the day he arrived at PSG. We have created great moments, and Neymar will be part of our history. I want to thank Neymar and his family and wish him all the best for his next adventure.” 메이저놀이터
