Neymar accepts a low salary at Santos.

Neymar will continue his association with Santos until the end of 2026, despite a significant decrease in his income compared to his time at Al Hilal.

Neymar has decided to stay at Santos.

On the afternoon of January 7th (Vietnam time), Santos announced the extension of Neymar's contract until the end of 2026. According to sources from Brazil, the former PSG star's salary remains unchanged from when he returned to the club in early 2025.

Neymar's base salary is quite low, ranging from approximately $500,000 to $750,000 per month. This is significantly lower than when the Brazilian forward played for Al Hilal, where he earned around $7.8 million per month.

However, the key point in Neymar's contract lies in the commercial terms. The 33-year-old striker receives a large share of the profits from shirt sales, sponsorships, media rights, and promotional activities related to his image.

This model has significantly reduced Santos' financial pressure while maximizing Neymar's global appeal. Since the Brazilian star's return in January 2025, Santos has seen a massive surge in media attention, social media followers, and commercial revenue.

From a professional standpoint, Neymar played a crucial role in Santos's survival in the 2025 season. Despite playing while in pain due to injury, the former Barcelona and PSG star still scored 5 goals in the last 5 matches of the season, making a significant contribution to helping the team avoid relegation.

Neymar's ambition for the coming period is to improve his form and fitness, thereby competing for a place in the Brazilian squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Neymar shines: On the morning of November 29th, Neymar shone in a crucial match, helping Santos win 3-0 against Recife to temporarily escape the relegation zone in round 36 of the Brazilian National Championship.
