'Brazilian superstar'Neymar (32) will return to club Santos FC in Brazil after 12 years as a youth club.
Neymar, who moved to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal for an annual salary of 130 million pounds (about 233.545 billion won) from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, is the first interest in the world's soccer community.
On the 29th (Korea time), the British Daily Mail highlighted the salary Neymar will receive from his hometown team after terminating his mutual contract with Al Hilal and agreeing to a six-month contract with Santos, Brazil. Neymar's Santos salary, which the former Barcelona star volunteered to take a huge salary cut to escape his insane £130 million-a-year contract with Saudi Arabia, has been revealed, he said. 'However, Neymar's new contract included up to 90% of his portrait rights.
Neymar reportedly decided to go to Santos with a strong will to join the national team while revitalizing his career and maintaining good form ahead of next year's FIFA North-China World Cup. Neymar signed a contract with Santos to receive up to 90% of the portrait rights for a basic monthly salary of 135,507 pounds (1 million real, about 240 million won).
Neymar recreated the successful contract model when he played for Santos from 2010 to 2013 in 12 years. At that time, Neymar received a basic salary of £46,83 (about 300,000 real, about 74 million won), but was able to receive £429,147 (3.3 million real, about 815 million won) per month thanks to 90% of the portrait rights. Thanks to the development of digital content and platforms such as YouTube and short-form, the revenue of portrait rights is expected to increase significantly from that time. The Daily Mail expects Neymar to earn up to 819,433 pounds (6 million real, about 1.48 billion won) per month.
According to UOL Esporte and Defremaira, Neymar's basic salary of 1 million reais (about 240 million won) is expected to account for 18% of his total annual income.
Neymar's Saudi life has not been successful. Al-Hilal was sluggish, scoring only one goal in seven games in 17 months due to injuries. Following a serious knee injury and a hamstring injury, the playing time dropped sharply and failed to meet the expectations of the Saudi professional league and fans. In the end, Neymar in crisis, who announced his separation, headed to his hometown of Santos, a club of `first thoughts' as a child.

Brazilian master Santus is welcoming the return of superstars. Chairman Marcelo Teixeira Santos said in an SNS video showing Neymar's Santos days, `It seems like yesterday, but time goes by too fast. The time has come to establish our new history. Neymar. It's time to come back. To our hometown, to the club in our hearts, he welcomed it. "Welcome. My son, Neymar! Boy of Villa (Santus Home Stadium, Belmiro), come back and be happy in a white and black shirt. Everyone in Santos is waiting for you with open arms," he added. Legendary club Santus, which has gone through Brazil's great players such as Pele, Carlos Albertu, Coutinho and Zito, suffered relegation to the second division in 2023 but was promoted again last year. Local fans' expectations are heating up for the return of the hero, with Neymar failing to produce a Ballon d'Or candidate in the Brazilian league since he reached the Ballon d'Or three times during his time as Santos.
