Neymar<\/a> is “probably leaving” Paris Saint-Germain, with an offer from Saudi Arabia said to be on the table, a source close to the negotiations told AFP on Sunday. The Brazil international joined the French champions for 220 million euros ($241m) from Barcelona in 2017. But the 31-year-old forward was missing from PSG’s season-opener on Saturday, and “no longer figures in the club or manager’s plans”, the source stated. Reports have emerged that Al Hilal are currently negotiating a deal to sign the former Barcelona forward.<\/p>\n

The official line on the Brazilian striker’s absence from the goalless draw with Lorient was that he was suffering from a “viral syndrome”.<\/p>\n

The source suggested Neymar was in talks with a club from the cash-rich Saudi Pro League “who will then have to reach agreement with PSG”.<\/p>\n

French sports daily L’Equipe reported that Al-Hilal is the club that has made the offer for the 31-year-old.<\/p>\n

Last month Al-Hilal made a 300-million-euro ($328 million) bid for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, though the striker reportedly refused to meet with officials from the club.<\/p>\n

Neymar underwent surgery on his right ankle in early March, returning to join PSG on their pre-season tour of Asia.<\/p>\n

Qatari-backed PSG are a club in a state of flux, with the departure of Lionel Messi and French superstar Mbappe watching Saturday’s game from the stands after being sidelined for several weeks amid an ongoing contract dispute.<\/p>\n

Neymar was conspicuous by his absence from the game at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n

His time at PSG has been blighted by a catalogue of injuries.<\/p>\n

Although he helped the club to the 2020 Champions League final he has often been sidelined for key games.<\/p>\n

If Neymar does end up moving to Saudi Arabia he will join a growing list of top players lured to the oil-rich kingdom since Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Al-Nassr in January.<\/p>\n
