Neymar, who joined PSG for a\u00a0<\/span>world-record fee of \u00a3200m in 2017<\/span><\/a>, was left out of their squad for the Ligue 1 draw against Lorient on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was not part of coach Luis Enrique’s plans for the new season.<\/span><\/p>\n

His exit also fits PSG’s strategy of moving away from the ‘Galacticos’ era of signing high-profile players for big fees and significant wages, with\u00a0<\/span>Lionel Messi also leaving the club<\/span><\/a>\u00a0earlier this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neymar was understood to be earning in the region of 25m euros (\u00a321.6m) annually at the French side.<\/span><\/p>\n

He will reportedly<\/span><\/a>\u00a0be paid 150m euros (\u00a3129.2m) a year in Saudi Arabia – six times the amount he earned at PSG.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Brazilian made 173 appearances for PSG, helping the club win 13 trophies, including five Ligue 1 titles, as well as reaching the 2020 Champions League final.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, his time in the French capital has also been hampered by a number of ankle injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n
