Despite widespread allegations that Neymar departed Europe due to the lucrative financial incentives presented in Saudi, the Brazilian player has asserted that his move to the Middle East was primarily fueled by his aspiration to become a ‘global player’.
“I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places.
“I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment.”
