Transfer: Neymar becomes second highest-paid player in Saudi Arabia behind Ronaldo

Following his move to Al-Hilal, Neymar Jr has become the second highest-earner in the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

Neymar is only behind Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, in terms of salary.

According to L’Equipe, the Brazilian will be paid around £276 million ($351m) over his two-year contract.

However, Neymar is still far behind Ronaldo, who earns £177m ($225m) per season.

The 31-year-old brought his tumultuous time at Paris Saint-Germain to an end this summer, by moving to the Middle East.

PSG agreed a fee around £77m for Neymar, who was also linked with a return to Barcelona.
