Bayern Munich legend Paul Breitner has slammed Neymar, as he sarcastically thanked Al-Hilal for taking him to Saudi Arabia.
Breitner has saved some harsh words for the former Paris Saint-Germain star, who has become the latest of a group of stars to head to the Saudi Pro League.
He has sarcastically thanked Al-Hilal for taking Neymar away from European shores, insisting that he “only dives” and offers nothing else.
Former Bayern and Real Madrid star Breitner told Bayrischer Rundfunk:
“Thank you, dear Saudis, for buying Mr Neymar, who has been one of the most sneaky footballers in recent years on this planet.
“One of the greatest footballers who only acts, who only dives. Lousy! A very sneaky character.
“I have to say: thank you very much, we don’t need to stand him any more.”

Neymar has perhaps failed to deliver on his immense potential throughout his career, particularly since his exit from Barcelona.
With PSG, after all, he could not help the club to Champions League glory, nor has he ever won the Ballon d’Or.
