Paris St-Germain have signed Brazil forward Neymar for a world record fee of 222m euros (£200m) from Barcelona.
The deal for the 25-year-old smashes the previous record set when Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United from Juventus for £89m in August 2016.
He will earn 45m euros (£40.7m) a year - 865,000 euros (£782,000) a week - before tax from the initial five-year deal, a total outlay of £400m.
Neymar said he has joined "one of the most ambitious clubs in Europe".
"Paris St-Germain's ambition attracted me to the club, along with the passion and the energy this brings," he added.
"I feel ready to take the challenge. From today, I will do everything I can to help my new team-mates."
The French side will have arranged a news conference for 12:30 BST on Friday. Neymar will then be introduced to fans on Saturday at PSG's first game of the season against Amiens at Parc des Princes.
