That’s more than Cristiano Ronaldo. More than Messi. More than Pogba.
Neymar has just become the highest paid soccer player in the world — signing a deal with Paris Saint-Germain worth over $265 MILLION!!
The 25-year-old Brazilian superstar will reportedly rake in around $657,000 per week with PSG over the course of 5 years … totaling more than $265 mil in wages and bonuses.
And that doesn’t even include endorsements.
PSG really, REALLY wanted him — and paid a record $263 mil transfer fee to Barcelona just to buy him out of his contract with them.
It’s the highest transfer fee ever — smashing the previous record held by Manchester United, which paid a $117 million transfer fee for Pogba from Juventus.
In total — salary plus transfer fee — PSG came out of pocket roughly $528 million to get Neymar.
FYI, Neymar is the only soccer athlete Michael Jordan has signed to his Jordan Brand label — apparently, he knows what he’s doing.
