Recently, the German transfer market counted the total income of players in football in 2023 (salary + off-field income), the 38-year-old Ronaldo is leading the fault, ranking first with 235 million euros, followed by the 36-year-old Messi with 122 million euros, and the 31-year-old Neymar scored 101 million euros, beating Mbappe, Haaland, and Benzema, ranking third. As the third person in football in the past, Neymar's annual income can still rank among the top three in the world despite the decline of his career.
In the first half of 2023, Neymar also played for Paris Saint-Germain, and began to play for Saudi giants Riyadh Crescent in the second half of the year, resulting in only 5 appearances, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists.
According to statistics, 2023 is the only year in Neymar's career that he has not played 20 games so far, playing a total of 17 games, contributing 6 goals and 9 assists.
For Riyadh Crescent, signing Neymar pays 90 million euros and provides an annual salary of 150 million euros, and now Neymar only makes 5 appearances in the first season and is reimbursed for the season, so the first contract has lost nearly 200 million euros.
Neymar came to Saudi Arabia to play, and now he is reimbursed for the early season, and he can still enjoy the third highest income in football, which can be described as the number one "lying winner".
According to the report of the Western media "Marca", before the arrival of New Year's Day, Neymar led his family to start a three-day cruise trip, the cruise departed from Neymar's hometown of Santos, this vacation is Neymar-themed on this vacation, and the ticket price is also relatively expensive, ranging from 1,000 euros to 6,000 euros, which is a luxury. Of course, for Neymar, who earns more than 100 million euros a year, these expenses are just a small fight.
On the cruise, Neymar completely let go and lived a retired life, such as wearing the captain's clothes to release passion, and picking up the guitar and singing very affectionately, enjoying it very much.
At the end of the three-day, three-night cruise, Neymar wrote on social media: "I never imagined being able to enjoy it all, seeing my family having fun, it's really different!"
With nine months to recuperate, Neymar has decided ahead of schedule for the Copa America to start in the summer of 2024 and still can't win his first Copa America title. Even so, Neymar's current lifestyle is to lie down and earn a high salary and enjoy himself.
