Neymar Jr. has been heavily linked with a transfer to PSG this summer in what will be a world record transfer of €222m.
A story has begun to circulate which will see the deal go through but not cost PSG a penny and if it’s true it’s will go down as one of the dodgiest deals ever.
So far the story is unconfirmed but if true it will see the 25 year old Brazilian heading to the French capital with €78m in his back pocket.
The details are:
Qatar Sports Investment will pay Neymar €300m to be one of their ambassadors for the 2022 World Cup with the contact being signed in Qatar so there is 0% tax to paid on the deal.
Neymar will then pay €222 to Barcelona to release him from the club leaving the door open for PSG to sign him for free.
Neymar will take his cut of €78 million plus the 6 year contract from PSG which is estimated to be worth €30m a year + bonuses.
Overall Neymar will earn €40m+ net a year during his 6 years in Paris.
Again, the story is unconfirmed and is most likely not going to happen but in the world of football these days anything is possible.
