Hilal offered him 160 million euros a year, second only to Crow's 200 million euros a year, becoming the second highest-paid player in the Saudi Arabian League. However, according to the British Sun newspaper, Nima also gave Hilal a more detailed "list of benefits", including the request to provide three Bentley, an AstraZeneca Martin and a Lamborghini, with a total value of about 510,000 pounds (about 5.1 million Hong Kong dollars), for his personal use.
