The Neymar transfer saga has seemed to take a new turn with PSG agreeing to a bid made by Al-Hilal. The Brazilian star has wanted out of PSG this summer and it has been reported earlier that the club too is working on ways to part with the player. The 31-year-old attracted interest from Saudi Arabia as well as the Major League Soccer after he said he wanted to leave PSG and the Saudi Pro League giants had tabled a big offer to PSG to secure the player’s services. Al-Hilal had earlier made a massive bid to sign Kylian Mbappe from PSG and the Ligue 1 champions had agreed to sell the player as well. But Mbappe did not give his consent to the move. Kylian Mbappe Re-Integrated Into PSG Squad, French Footballer to Start Training With First Team Members.
