Neymar Junior is officially an Al-Hilal player. The Brazilian superstar has joined the Saudi Arabian side from Paris Saint-Germain, where he spent the last six years.

His compatriot, the legendary Ronaldinho, has sent the forward a congratulatory message as he embarks on a new journey in his career.

The deal to the Saudi Pro League side is worth €90 million plus add-ons, per the BBC. Neymar is the latest star from a European club to move to Saudi Arabia.

"I'm here in Saudi Arabia. I'm Hilali," Neymar said in a video announcing his signing.
The Brazilian will join Kalidou Koulibaly, Rúben Neves, and Sergej Milinković-Savić, who have all signed for Al-Hilal this summer.

The 31-year-old remains the most expensive footballer in history.

PSG paid €222mil to acquire his services in 2017. It was a groundbreaking transfer that changed the football landscape forever.

Ronaldinho, one of the greatest footballers of all time, penned a message to Neymar on social media, wishing him well as he begins another journey.

The message was translated as follows: “”All success to you, my partner! Good luck."
