Neymar to sign for Al-Hilal

Neymar is set to join Al-Hilal after the Saudi Arabian club agreed a deal for the Brazilan with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 31-year-old's move to the Saudi Pro League, which is dependent on him passing a medical, will be the biggest yet and a sure sign that playing there has become a credible option for top players.

Cristiano Ronaldo may be a greater star than Neymar but the Portuguese is seven years older than the Brazilian who is going there when he is still arguably at his peak.

Neymar was left out of PSG's squad at the weekend, for their 0-0 against Lorient, and was not part of new manager Luis Enrique's plans for the season.

Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, is 1/41.25 to stay at PSG beyond the current transfer window after he rejoined training with the first team after positive talks with the club.

The French forward is 3/14.00 to sign for Real Madrid and a move cannot be rule out yet.

Neymar joined PSG for a world record fee of 222m euros in 2017 from Barcelona. He has been crucial to the French club's emergence as a major European power but his failure to help them win the Champions League was a disappointment.

Barcelona, Chelsea and MLS options for Neymar

A return to Barcelona is the favourite option on Betfair for Neymar after he told Paris Saint-Germain that he wants to leave this summer.

Barcelona are 13/82.63 to buy back the Brazilian they off-loaded to the French champions for a world record in 2017.

The 31-year-old is unhappy and, according to the French press, is dreaming of a return to the Catalan giants.

They tried to sign Lionel Messi earlier this summer but could not reach a deal and the Argentine joined Inter Miami where he is thriving.

Could Neymar, after seeing his friend scoring goals and enjoying life stateside, be tempted to move to the MLS? You can get 10/34.33 on that outcome.

Pochettino set for Neymar reunion at 4/15.00?

A more intriguing option, for Premier League watchers at least, is Chelsea at 4/15.00.

Reports surfaced this morning that Neymar's representatives are in touch with the west London club. They are, of course, managed by Mauricio Pochettino who got to know Neymar when the Argentine managed PSG.

Pochettino was popular with PSG players, which is why Chelsea have been linked with an audacious 9/110.00 move for Kylian Mbappe, so could they bid for Neymar?

Unlike Messi, the Brazilian is not in the twilight of his career and should want to sign for another big European club, rather than cash-in in America or Saudi Arabia 5/16.00.

Chelsea have the money to sign Neymar but bring him in days before the start of the Premier League season, when Pochettino has been working all summer to shed players and give his squad cohesion, may not sit comfortably with the manager.

Then again, there are few players who are as gifted as Neymar. Even at 31, and with his injury problems last season, he remains a special player.

Manchester United 9/25.50 are the other Premier League club near the top of the Neymar transder market. But they are working with a limited budget and Erik ten Hag has other transfer priorities between now and the end of the window, such as adding a defensive midfielder.
