Inglorius Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 www.dailymail.co.uk › article-3534150 Neymar contract released by Football Leaks shows Barcelona forward earns just £77,000 a week and has £153m buyout clause Neymar earns a basic wage of £77,000 a week at Spanish giants Barcelona The Brazilian signed a five-year contract with Barcelona in June 2013 Sergio Aguero and David de Gea have been exposed by Football Leaks Premier League clubs will have to fork out £153million if they are to tempt Brazilian ace Neymar away from Spanish giants Barcelona this summer. Football Leaks have managed to get hold of yet another world superstar's contract with the 24-year-old being the next victim of their series of revelations. The former Santos man surprisingly earns just £77,000 a week despite being one of Barcelona's main men along with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.  Football Leaks has revealed the clauses inserted into Neymar's current contract at Barcelona  Neymar (centre) earns significantly less than his fellow Barcelona stars such as Lionel Messi (right)  Football Leaks managed to get hold of a copy of Neymar's contract with the Spanish giants Suarez is said to be on north of £200,000 a week while strike partner Messi is said to take home over £250,000 after tax. Neymar is able to earn a considerable amount more than his basic wage of £77,000-a-week thanks to the following bonuses inserted into his contract. 1. If Neymar plays 60% of matches (at least 45 minutes to complete a match) Barcelona is obliged to pay him 1,062,500 euros (£850,867). 2. Each time Barcelona qualifies for the Champions League, the Brazilian earns 637,500 euros (£510,563). The contract clarifies that this must be through finishing in a high enough position in La Liga, not via the play-offs. 3. Every time the Catalans qualify from the group stage, Neymar will receive 425,000 euros (£340,375). 4. Neymar has set a series of bonuses for each title Barcelona win. La Liga represents a premium of 637,500 euros (£510,563); the Champions League: 850,000 euros (£680,751) and the Copa del Rey: 850.000 euros ((£680,751). 5. If Neymar wins the Ballon d’Or he will be awarded 425,000 euros (£340,375). 6. Neymar’s buyout is confirmed at 190 million euros (£153m).

Kernow Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I wouldn't mind earning just £77k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm fairly sure Neymar has a cut of all revenue made through his brand/name as agreed by Barcelona. Add that on to the top of the weekly wage and you're probably looking at £250,000 per week minumum. I don't think Shelvey quite has the global backing of the Barca superstar.

Inglorius Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I was posting this as much to point out that behind the sensationalist headline propogated by the Mail the devil in the detail says that Neymar will probably safely earn another £1.6 million a year through bonuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia: "All of his sponsorships have earned him a total of an estimated €20 million per year" Add to that his £77k a week salary, gives him another £40,000,000 ($57,000,000). The boy ain't poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Still, the figurs are insane. What Neymar earns in a month (just the wages) could buy me my dream home overlooking the ocean and enough left over for me not to work another day for at least 20 years.

Rev Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Nothing about image rights, which will be paid offshore! Still, it's not taking the piss seeing as Spain has kept it's unemployment rate at a lowly 22%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
