Transfer: I don’t want Neymar to come Saudi Pro League – Gerrard

Al-Ettifaq coach, Steven Gerrard has joked that he doesn’t want Neymar to come to the Saudi Pro League.

Gerrard said this while speaking about Neymar’s move to Saudi Pro League club, Al-Hilal.

Neymar completed a £78m transfer from Paris Saint-Germain and was recently announced as an Al-Hilal player.

The 31-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation and Gerrard believes the former Barcelona forward doesn’t get enough credit for what he has done in the game.

Gerrard said (via CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs on Twitter): “The name speaks for itself. He’s given me so much joy through the years at Barcelona, PSG and Brazil.

“I don’t think the boy gets enough credit for the numbers he’s put up. I don’t want him to come because he’s not coming to my team. But in Hollywood terms, he’s an A-list star.”
