Between the amount spent on the day they signed him and his salary, the French team are left with this astronomical figure regarding the Brazilian footballer. Injuries have also prevented the team from profiting from his arrival.

The game against Olympique Marseille, which PSG won in a very convincing manner, is already one of the long list of games that Neymar has not played with the French club. A list that, unfortunately for the French club, is bigger than the list of games that he has actually played.

In the 127 games played by the Parisians in the two and half seasons that Neymar has been at Parc des Princes, he has only played in 63 of them.

A poor figure, as he has not even reached half the number of matches played and which already makes his arrival in the capital even more expensive.

Beyond the 222 million euros that they paid for him, PSG also pay him 3.1 million euros a month and he has been in France for 26 months, meaning he has earned 80.6 million euros.

A total of 302.6 million spent on one player, who has only played in 63 games, this means that each game the Brazilian has played has cost PSG 4.8 million euros.

If we focus on the goal scorer section, the numbers are equally abundant. Every goal from Neymar has cost PSG 5.5 million euros. Was it therefore worth the risky bet of Al-Khelaïfi's team to get a player who since he arrived has only wanted to leave?
