Saudi Arabia said to be bending the rules for Neymar
The two-year deal is said to be worth around €160-million - which is R3.3-billion!
Although the finer details of the deal between Neymar Jr. and Al Hadid have yet to be fully released, there are reports that his perks are "out of this world".
Not that it isn't warranted, considering his more than stellar career.
But what's really shocking is that some of the perks are said to be in contravention of some of the laws that Saudi Arabia has become known for.
"Those perks include a private plane for the Brazilian star, a house with staff, €80,000 (estimated $87,395/R1,666,474) for each Al-Hilal win, and a reported €500,000 (estimated $546,220/R10,415,486) for each story or social media post that promotes Saudi Arabia." (Remezcla)
In case you are wondering which part of his deal goes against Saudi law, well, it seems that the country may be willing to allow Neymar Jr. to live with his girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, which is not allowed for ordinary Saudi citizens.
The life of a footballer, hey...
