Concluding his near-decade-long journey in European club football, Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. took his leave as he embarked on a new chapter with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. This transfer entails a multitude of additional benefits, extending well beyond the staggering figures on his paycheck.
Neymar Jr. and big bucks have consistently gone hand in hand. The 31-year-old Brazilian stands as the holder of the record for the highest transfer fee ever disbursed for a football player, with Paris Saint-Germain expending a staggering $263 Million (approximately INR 2,184 crore) to secure his services from FC Barcelona. As per market reports, it’s suggested that Al Hilal has now roped Neymar Jr. for an approximate transfer fee of $102 million (around INR 847 crore).
However, what does this deal mean for the player himself? Does Neymar’s compensation at his new club surpass what he was earning at PSG? To tackle this question, a detailed examination of Neymar’s contract becomes imperative, encompassing not only his salary but also the array of luxurious incentives he stands to gain.

What Will Be Neymar’s Salary at Al-Hilal?
Following unsuccessful endeavors to secure the signatures of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe during the 2023-24 summer transfer window, Al Hilal has triumphed in capturing their centerpiece acquisition in the form of Neymar Jr. This Brazilian dynamo represents the most significant acquisition in the Saudi Pro League since Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in January of the same year.
As per credible reports, Neymar Jr. is poised to amass an astronomical annual salary of roughly $300 million (approximately INR 2,492 crore) from his affiliation with the Saudi Pro League club. When factoring in potential endorsements and commercial affiliations with the club, the Brazilian sensation’s yearly income might soar to an astounding USD 400 million (around INR 3,323 crore). This comprehensive agreement secures his presence within the ranks of the Riyadh-based club for a span of two years.
Furthermore, for each match in which he graces the field and Al Hilal emerges victorious, Neymar Jr. is entitled to an extra incentive of approximately $87,000 (roughly INR 72 lakh). But that’s not the extent of it! The forward will also be handsomely rewarded with around $543,200 (approximately INR 4 crore) for each social media post from his personal account that promotes Saudi Arabia. The forecast for Neymar Jr. isn’t just showers of wealth; he’s destined to be immersed in it!
What Are The Other Perks?
In case you assumed that you’ve heard enough about Neymar Jr’s lucrative Middle Eastern contract, prepare for a revelation. Al Hilal has gone to great lengths to craft an enticing deal, leaving no stone unturned in their endeavor to entice the Brazilian away from Paris.
Various reliable sources reveal that Neymar Jr has been granted possession of three opulent automobiles: a Bentley Continental GP, an Aston Martin DBX, and a Lamborghini Huracan. Further augmenting his fleet, he’s also been bestowed with four Mercedes G Wagons and a Mercedes van.
Moreover, should the footballer find road travel in his luxury vehicles inconvenient or unenjoyable, his new employers have taken care of that predicament by offering him access to a private jet, available for his use around the clock.
In terms of accommodations, Al Hilal has gifted Neymar Jr an expansive mansion comprising 25 rooms. The residence boasts its very own 40-meter-long swimming pool. To ensure the utmost comfort for the footballer and his family, Neymar’s new abode comes complete with a dedicated staff.
