Inside Neymar’s Saudi contract – from ‘private jet to £430K social media posts’

Neymar has become the latest superstar to swap Europe for Saudi Arabia – and it's not surprising looking at some of his rumoured contract bonuses.

The Brazilian became the world's most expensive player when he joined PSG in 2017 – but he decided it was time to leave France this summer. Neymar told his management he wanted to leave the French capital, before Al Hilal swooped in.

And as Neymar made the move official on Tuesday evening, Foot Mercato has revealed some of the staggering details of his contract.

It's easy to see why Neymar has made the move, with the Brazilian reportedly set to land £430,000 per social media post.

Neymar will have a private jet at his disposal, ready to whisk him to wherever he wishes – a luxury also enjoyed by Cristiano Ronaldo after his move to Al Nassr.

And, like Ronaldo, Neymar will be allowed to live with his partner, Bruna Biancardi, even though the pair are not married. When Ronaldo moved to Saudi, there were questions if he would be allowed to live with Georgina Rodriguez – but the country relaxed their strict policy.

Each time Neymar posts something positive about Saudi Arabia on social media, reports suggest he will pocket £430,000.

Saudi Arabia has seen a slew of superstars moved to the Middle East ever since Ronaldo swapped Manchester United for Al Nassr following the World Cup.

So far this summer, ex-Premier League stars Sadio Mane, Ngolo Kante, and Jordan Henderson have moved to the Middle East. While European standouts like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Jota, and Marcelo Brozovic have also upped sticks to Saudi.
