    Brazilian superstar Neymar has completed a move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain.

    As per BBC, Al-Hilal will be paying PSG a sum worth £77.6m (€90m), plus add-ons.

    Notably, Neymar holds the world-record fee of £198m (€222m) which PSG paid to land him from Barcelona in 2017.

    With a move to Al-Hilal, Neymar has surpassed Romelu Lukaku's cumulative transfer sum.
