Neymar Jr's career in the top flight is over. The Brazilian striker has joined Al Hilal and signed a two-year contract with the Saudi club after six seasons at Paris Saint-Germain.

The 31-year-old has already given his first interview to his current club's press and has said that he has made "the right decision" in moving to Saudi Arabia to continue his career.

"I want to write a new story in my life. The Saudi league has a great energy and is growing every day. I think this is the right place for me," he began.

"Al Hilal is a great club with fantastic fans. It's the best in Asia. It gives me the feeling that this is the right decision for me, at the right time, at the right club. I love winning and scoring goals and I plan to continue doing that in Arabia with Al Hilal," he concluded.

According to 'The Sun', the Brazilian star asked the Saudi club for a mansion with three saunas and eight luxury cars to join the Saudi league.
