An island off the coast of Brazil. That was Neymar’s whim when he was still wearing the Al-Hilal shirt, and it cost him 3,5 million pounds, about 4,4 million dollars.
To put that figure into perspective: at the Saudi club, the Brazilian earned that same amount in salary in just 13 days. Two weeks’ pay was enough to buy himself a piece of paradise.
And what stands out most is the contrast. During his time in Saudi Arabia, Neymar managed to play just 7 matches, a spell marked by injuries, but also by one of the most lucrative contracts in football history.
