Details of what Neymar was paid for in his first year at Paris Saint-Germain have been released, and the figures are staggering.
According to a report by Marca, the Brazilian striker has received 400 million euros in his first season in France due to a number of trade deals and the impact he has had on the world when he moved to Paris.
The amount mentioned in El Mundo’s report was defended by PSG, who insisted that signing the player was money.
“We will make more money for Neymar than we spent,” said club president Nasser Al Khelaifi on the day he was introduced as a new player.
The official club store had brought in more than half a million dollars in two hours after the removal of his shirt.
The club also insisted that without Neymar’s presence, they would not have been able to make lucrative deals with Italian brand Replay or Nike Jordan. Subsequent group communication forums have also increased.
Those in Paris say his arrival made PSG the second most lucrative club in the world, citing a Deloitte survey that ranked them among the top five clubs in the world.
