After an underwhelming outing with Al Hilal, Neymar has parted ways with the Saudi club and has joined his boyhood club Santos in Brazil.
The former Barcelona star left Al Hilal last week and is set to feature for Santos with a six-month contract at the club. He played only seven matches for Al Hilal in an injury-marred stint, thus forcing the Saudi club to terminate the contract amid astronomical wages.
Neymar new salary at Santos
As Neymar returns to South American football, the Brazilian player has been forced to take a gigantic pay cut. The massive amount that Neymar was earning at Al Hilal is by no means possible anywhere in football. Santos, as per latest reports, will be paying Neymar £135,507 per month, which is around £32,500 per week, translating to around Rs 1.45 crore per month in Indian currency.
Neymar set for huge Pay Cut
Neymar will be taking a massive pay cut as he moves to the Brazilian club. He was earning a tax-free salary of €1.5 million at Al Hilal, which is around Rs 13.36 crore per week.
But after the Santos move, Neymar has endured a financial pay cut of 89.14 per cent. The former PSG player may have taken the salary cut, but it is imperative for him to get back to form and get minutes under his belt.
Neymar is currently in for a six-month contract and if he can reinvent in this time, the 32-year-old may well make a return to Europe again, with a much bigger salary in the summer.
