However, there have been much speculation about their relationship. As Neymar bid goodbye to his PSG teammates before his move to the Middle East, he was spotted sharing a hug with Kylian Mbappe.
Watch the video from PSG's channel:
Al-Hilal were previously interested in Mbappe as well and offered the Frenchman a record-breaking salary of €200 million per year. However, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner didn't accept the transfer. The Saudi Pro League club, though, have managed to add Mbappe's former Brazilian teammate to their ranks.
Ousmane Dembele set to partner Kylian Mbappe in PSG's attack after Neymar's departure
While Neymar has often spent spells on the sidelines with injuries, there's no denying the fact that when fit, the Brazilian superstar was a key player for the French club.
Hence, the Parisians need a decent replacement after his departure. Ousmane Dembele has been signed by the French giants from Barcelona for £50.4 million.
Dembele and Mbappe have been playing together for France for a while, and the pair are now set to combine for PSG. Considering the blistering pace of both players, fans could be in for a treat when they take the field together.
However, considering Dembele's fitness concerns, fans would like to see the Frenchman focus on staying injury-free.
