Neymar's net worth, salary and endorsements since record-breaking PSG transfer

Neymar has been one of the most exciting footballing talents of the past decade and now finds himself as one of the biggest names in the game.

Ever since he made a name for himself in Brazil with Santos, the forward's reputation has continued to grow.

His pure talent was most notable in the things he could do with a ball at his feet and the Brazilian showboater soon began to light up every stadium he set foot in for years to come.

Becoming a star at Santos earned him big money moves to Barcelona and then PSG, helping the skilful winger to become one of the highest paid footballers in the world and amass a net worth of around €200million (£168.8m).

And since joining PSG from Barcelona for a world record fee of €222m (then £198m) on a four-year deal in 2017, the superstar has earned an outrageous €69m (£58m) per season and was, at one point, the highest paid footballer in the world.

Is Neymar the next best footballer behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? Have your say in the comments section.

Neymar began his career with Santos in his native Brazil and quickly made a name for himself with 136 goals in 225 appearances, winning six trophies with the club by the time he left at the age of 21.

Barcelona then snapped up the highly-rated youngster up for €57.1 m (£48.2m) and was reportedly being paid €5m-a-year by the Spanish club.

On the pitch though, he took La Liga by storm and became part of one of the deadliest front three's in history with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, as the trio won two La Liga's, three Copa Del Rey's, one Spanish Super Cup, one Champions League and one Club World Cup together.

Yet his career would continue to catapult even from there and in 2017 he became the most expensive footballer ever with his staggering multi-million pound transfer to PSG, who rewarded him with an astronomical contract to make him the highest paid footballer in the world at the time.

The Brazilian has already completed French football and has won 10 trophies in Paris - three of which are Ligue 1 titles, while he has also broken numerous records for his national team.

Should Neymar stay for a sixth year at PSG, his salary will see him earn €80m (£67.5m), which works out at €1.5m (£1.25m) per week - not to mention all the bonuses he gets on top of this, year-on-year.

Off the field, it is also estimated that he earns €20 million from endorsements on top of his club earnings as well and was on an 11-year contract with Nike which saw him pocket a staggering €105m (£88.6m).

But with Ronaldo already on board, Neymar has swapped to Puma and the sportswear company has doubled his Nike salary - meaning he takes home €14m (£11.8m) a year.

The winger has also worked with the likes of Red Bull, Beats Electronics, Mastercard, DAZN, Electronic Arts, Gillette and TCL, while he has also appeared in two films.

Neymar has quite a social media presence and has used his platform for further promotions and advertisements and is very much into his fashion, showing off clothing and accessories for companies such as REPLAY Jeans, Gaga Milano, Diesel Fragrances and Superdry.

The 29-year-old has also become ambassadors for DAZN, a sports streaming service, social media app Triller, antiperspirants brand Above Cosmetics and Konami, who publish football games such as Pro Evolution Soccer (PES).

Even without all of these endorsements and sponsorship deals, Neymar could happily live off just his PSG contract, but they represent themselves as an even bigger earner for the Brazilian superstar who will continue to be one of the highest paid footballers in the world.
