Al-Hilal has reached an agreement with PSG to sign Neymar

Paris Saint-Germain has agreed to sell Brazilian striker Neymar to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal for a sum believed to be about 90 million euros (£77.6 million) plus add-ons.

The move is contingent on the 31-year-old passing a medical exam and submitting all appropriate documentation.

Neymar, who joined PSG for a world record sum of 222 million euros in 2017, was absent from Saturday’s Ligue 1 opening.

He has not been included in coach Luis Enrique’s plans for the upcoming season.

It also fits with PSG’s objective of moving away from the ‘Galacticos’ period of recruiting high-profile players for large prices and large incomes.

Neymar was said to make around 25 million euros (£21.6 million) each year in France.

The news of Neymar’s signing came only 24 hours after PSG’s Kylian Mbappe was reintegrated back into first-team training following constructive talks with the club.

The France forward, 24, has been in a contract dispute with PSG over a desire to join Real Madrid, but his current term is set to expire next summer.

PSG granted Al-Hilal permission to speak with Mbappe last month after the Saudi side made a world-record £259 million proposal.
