FC Barcelona’s Neymar Is On The Verge of Becoming Soccer’s Highest Paid Player


If Neymar leaves FC Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain he could net a €40 million (£35.8 million) yearly compensation.

The Ligue 1 club completed second in the French title last season and is hoping to sign a “best five” world level player to topple Monaco.

Brazil assailant Neymar is near marking, as indicated by various reports in France and Spain. Be that as it may, the 25-year-old won’t come modest.

The exchange expense alone will cost PSG an astounding €222 million (£196.5 million), with Neymar’s potential wage bundle coming in at €40 million a year.

Neymar at present gains $12 million (€10 million/£9.2 million) a year at Barcelona, as per Forbes.

A 300% pay ascend at PSG would make him the best-paid footballer on the planet, beating the €35.75 million (£32 million) bargain Carlos Tevez appreciates at Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

A Neymar exchange appeared to be impossible before in the week.

Barcelona donning VP Jordi Mestre said on Tuesday that “it is 200%” sure that Neymar “will stay [at Barcelona].”

Be that as it may, a great deal has occurred from that point forward. On Thursday, MARCA implied that PSG may have just achieved a concurrence with Neymar’s dad and specialist Neymar Santos Sr.

At that point, on Friday, Radio Catalunya showed that Neymar had a “95%” possibility of leaving Barcelona for PSG. It included that Neymar’s agreement in Paris would be €40 million, making him “the most generously compensated player on the planet.”

MARCA likewise revealed that “in the changing area, Neymar’s exit has for quite some time been viewed as a genuine probability.”

As per the specialists, Neymar needs to escape Lionel Messi’s shadow and turn into the best player on the planet.

“I can understand why he’d want to leave Barcelona,” said Julian Laurens, a television journalist who covers French football for BT Sport and ESPN.

“Messi has just renewed his contract so that means Neymar will play second fiddle for another three or four years and that’s not what he wants… he wants to be a superstar.”
