Neymar's big-money move to Al-Hilal has disrupted the football market. The Brazilian forward became the latest player to join the current bandwagon as he secured a €90 million deal to join the likes of Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly. Neymar joined PSG from FC Barcelona in 2017.
3 things you need to know
- Neymar recently moved to Al-Hilal ending his six-year PSG career

- Neymar's departure meant Kylian Mbappe is now the central figure at the club
Neymar joined Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain
Neymar reportedly tried to get rid of Lionel Messi's shadow when he left the Catalans in a record-breaking £200 million transfer which is still the most amount of money paid by a club for a footballer.
His PSG career was marred by injuries and except for a few Ligue 1 titles he didn't manage to pull off any miracles at Parc des Princes. He was brought in to help PSG in their bid to help the club in their pursuit for the Champions League. But despite signing some big players the French giants failed to lay their hand on the UCL trophy.
Reactions pour in on Neymar's transfer to Al-Hilal
PSG had amassed a huge contingent of superstars as the likes of Sergio Ramos, Mario Icardi, Angel di Maria and a few others. But as time passed except for Mbappe, all the other players left the club which further hinted towards Mbappe's influence at the club. Earlier reports suggested that he and Neymar are at loggerheads and Neymar's departure from the club would only fuel the rumours further. It remains to be seen how his future pans out as he only has a year left on his current PSG contract and so far has refused to pen down an extension.
Fans have taken the social media by storm to react on the latest developments:-

Beside he doesn’t dare to even touch messi, the moment he does, he gets destroyed in social media.
After being involved in a long contract standoff Mbappe was recently reinstated into the squad and the French international will likely to lead the team against Toulouse in their next Ligue 1 encounter.
