Neymar's Lavish Saudi Requests: 8 Cars!
In a surprising twist, Al-Hilal’s acquisition of Neymar Junior has set the football world abuzz. The Brazilian superstar, formerly with Paris Saint-Germain, has now become the latest entrant into the Saudi Pro League, and the details behind his move are nothing short of extraordinary.
Financial Aspects:
The transfer involves an eye-popping sum of 200 to 350 million euros over two years, positioning Neymar just behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in terms of earnings. The substantial funds for this move originate from Saudi Arabia, underlining the country’s growing influence in the global football scene.
Extravagant Demands:
However, Neymar’s transfer wasn’t solely about finances; there were numerous additional demands that had to be met to secure his signature, and they were anything but modest. According to reports, Neymar made an extensive list of requests that included a fleet of eight luxury cars for himself and his entourage. The desired vehicles ranged from a Bentley Continental GT to an Aston Martin DBX and even a Lamborghini Huracan, collectively valued at approximately £510,000.
24/7 Chauffeur and a Mansion Fit for Royalty:
The demands didn’t stop at cars; Neymar also requested a 24/7 chauffeur service for himself, friends, and family. In addition, he sought a mansion with an astonishing 25 bedrooms, three saunas, a massive 40×10 meter swimming pool, and even a private plane.
Luxury Vehicle Preferences:
Turning to the automobile specifics, Neymar’s list included a Mercedes van on standby for his personal use or that of his family and friends. He also wanted a Mercedes G-Class Wagon, a high-end SUV often favored by football stars. This choice is well-suited for Saudi Arabia’s diverse road conditions and the desert landscapes that feature prominently in the region, including areas where the Dakar Rally is held.
