7 games, 1 goal. These were the statistics Neymar left behind in the Saudi Arabian league. For this, Neymar pulled in a few hundred million euros in annual salary, but gave up a significant sum to be able to return home. For now, it’s off to the youth club Santos in Brazil. This is possible, because the club can actually meet Neymar’s expectations.
Neymar returns to Santos on a six-month contract, according to Sport, Neymar agrees to take a 99% pay cut and receives €38,000 in weekly wages.
It is not enough to buy a new island, but still makes Neymar one of the club’s highest paid. For Santos, a big cost to bear, but expectations of giant sales of supporter items after the return of the club’s big son should give a plus account – no matter how many games Neymar’s legs last this time.
