Ronaldo, Benzema and Firmino are currently club captains at Al Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli respectively. All three of those clubs - like Al-Hilal - are part-owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

The PIF is playing a key role in Saudi soccer's revolution by providing huge sums of money to facilitate marquee signings.

But how much are Al-Hilal going to pay to bring Neymar to Riyadh?

Neymar's Transfer Fee

According to BBC Sport, Al-Hilal have agreed a deal with PSG that will see the French club receive an initial transfer fee worth €90 million ($98.5m).

That fee is expected to rise even further based on various performance-related add-ons.

Neymar's Salary At Al-Hilal

Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol reported earlier this week that Neymar will earn €150m ($163.7m) per year at Al-Hilal - which is claimed to be six times more than his current PSG salary.

That will make Neymar one of the highest-paid players in the Saudi Pro League but Ronaldo will remain as the top earner.

Ronaldo, 38, is understood to be making more than $200 million per year at Al Nassr.

Meanwhile, Benzema and Al-Ittihad teammate N'Golo Kante are each said to have an annual tax-free salary worth around €100m.
