With the Brazilian moving closer and closer to a move to PSG, we take an in-depth look at the numbers reportedly involved in the move.

Reports claim that the Samba star has agreed a five-year deal that will see him earn £26.8m per year (after tax) with the French giants.

That salary means that Neymar will earn £515,000 per week or £73,571 per day.

To put it into the perspective of the everyman, the average hourly wage in the UK is estimated to be just under £13. Neymar on the other hand, will be earning £3,065 during that time.

Imagine earning £51 every minute, even when you're sleeping, and you will be imagining life in the 25-year-old's shoes.

A PSG replica shirt costs £65, meaning that Neymar could buy a new one every one minute and 18 seconds.

Simply incredible figures.
