Giannis Antetokounmpo saw the big-money contracts that have been handed out to soccer stars by Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal and made a joke about signing with the team on social media. The team responded by sharing a custom Antetokounmpo jersey in the club’s colors.
Giannis’ initial tweet about joining Al Hilal came after the rumored $1 billion offer they put in for French soccer star Kylian Mbappe. Even Draymond Green and LeBron James were joking about switching sports and going to Saudi Arabia after seeing that contract.

Neymar is the all-time leader in goals scored for Brazil and is the most notable name switching over to Saudi Arabia in a sea of European stars. His contract offer would be mouthwatering to most NBA players, as he will be getting paid $2.5 million every week (over $100 million annually). The perks in his contract are incredible, as Neymar will be entitled to a private plane, various financial bonuses, and a mansion with service staff.
The NBA saw some of its richest contracts get signed this summer, with Jaylen Brown signing the first contract worth $300 million. That contract is over five years, so Brown averages out at about $60 million a year. The largest single-season salary will be collected by Anthony Davis in 2027-28 with $63 million from the Lakers.
