His salary would have dropped a little (€30 million per season, which means €6 million less). However, he will receive a huge bonus if he wins the Champions League. This announcement comes at a key moment. PSG has just been eliminated from the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Neymar had already announced his idea in a press conference on the eve of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.  

“This is probably the season where I am the best, the happiest. Things will come naturally for my contract, but this is not the time to talk about it. ” – Neymar.

Neymar wants to use his extension to make history by winning a Champions League cup. He is well confident in PSG’s ability to continue to reinforce the squad.

Neymar will not return to Barcelona, who could not afford to finance his return due to the financial crisis. The Camp Nou did not appreciate this extension. The staff of the Catalan club had indeed hoped to recruit him this summer.

An emissary had traveled to Paris a month ago to discuss with the player, and the latter had made it known that he wanted to return to Catalonia at all costs. Unfortunately for Barcelona, the Brazilian is fulfilling himself in Paris, both at the club and in the city.
