The French champions are looking for a major revamp with stars like Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, who joined Inter Miami, already out.

According to CBS Sports, Neymar could be next as Al-Hilal representatives flew to the French capital on Friday hoping to seal a deal with him.

The Saudi giants initially hoped to land Messi but the Argentina captain opted for the MLS.

Therefore, Al-Hilal have turned their attention to the Brazil international and are willing to offer a mammoth wage package.
