The 30-year-old is also the highest-paid player in the French league and at PSG, even ahead of Argentine star Lionel Messi.

Since his arrival, Neymar has scored 96 goals and provided 53 assists. Not bad for almost five seasons. However, the main objective has not been met, that of winning the Champions League. In the 2019-20 season, when the start of the pandemic occurred, the Parisian squad reached the final against Bayern Munich, however, they lost 1-0.

Despite all this, Neymar has been the highest-paid player in France and at PSG since he arrived.

How many millions a year does Neymar earn?

Brazilian Neymar is the highest-paid player in French soccer, with more than $4.1 million gross per month, according to a joint report by L'Equipe and public radio France Info, in which Paris Saint-Germain tops the list of the highest salaries.

The Brazilian attacker is followed by the Argentine Leo Messi (more than 3.375 million gross per month) and the French Kylian Mbappé (2.220 million), according to the estimates of these two media.

In the case of Messi, it is specified that he receives a net salary of about $ 25 million per year plus a loyalty bonus of 15 million gross, which allows him to slightly exceed 30 million net per year.

This means that the Argentine star ultimately earns almost the same as Neymar, his friend, and former teammate at FC Barcelona.

In short, the average salary at PSG (whose owner is a Qatari sovereign wealth fund) has risen in one season from €800,000 to €990,000 gross per month.

PSG also leads by a long distance in the ranking of the highest-paid coach, with Argentine Mauricio Pochettino earning €1.1 million gross per month, followed by his compatriot Jorge Sampaoli (OM) on €330,000, the same figure as Christophe Galtier (Nice).
