Paris Saint-Germain landed 90 million euros last summer on the sale of Neymar to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. – The Paris club set a world record that still stands at 222 million euros in a transfer a few years earlier from Barcelona.
With an annual salary of almost 170 million euros, it is annoying when someone is away for a long time, over a year ago Neymar injured his cruciate ligament in training with Barcelona and only a few days ago he was back for his team.
Earns £2.65 million a week.

October, Neymar was back. The Brazilian superstar has spent the past year recovering from a serious cruciate ligament injury, now it was time to work for the astronomically high Saudi Arabian salary.
They didn’t last very long, Neymar, who has a contract until next summer, is injured again
On Monday, Neymar held for 29 minutes against an Iranian club in the Asian version of the Champions League. The Esteghlal players watched in amazement as Neymar lay down on the grass after a run and grabbed the back of his thigh. He seemed to be in pain, before he was forced to retire from the game.
-It is normal for this to happen when you have been out for almost a year. The doctors had warned me in advance. I have to be more careful, and then the playing time will probably come, says the Brazilian according to the media Globo.
It wasn’t cramps. On Wednesday, the Saudi Arabian club confirmed on social media that Neymar is out with a thigh injury.
45 minutes on the pitch after a one-year absence. Now four to six more weeks are waiting on the injury bench.
Now the TV channel Action Ma3 Waleed, which owns the rights to the Saudi Pro League, states that his club Al-Hilal has grown bored. The club is open to letting the Brazilian go in the January window, as they have no plans to sign Neymar for the second half of the season. This is to speed up his exit. “What they don’t expect is that Neymar thrives on earning fat and doing absolutely nothing. We’ll see if the strategy works.

The contract could thus be broken as early as January, which means that Neymar can move to any club for free.
In total, 32-year-old Neymar has only played seven games with Al-Hilal at competitive level since joining the club.
Not exactly the big PR gain either when Neymar has stuck around the world, bought an island and trained his way back outside Saudi Arabia. To then return and disappear again from the battle arena.
