JAKARTA - After officially ending the contract sooner with Al Hilal, Neymar has now officially joined the club that made his name, Santos. However, at this club, the star's salary was cut drastically.

Neymar previously agreed with Al Hilal not to continue the contract. The condition of the player who was often injured was one of the careful considerations in the decision.

After separating, Neymar is still trying to stay in action by joining Santos, who has just been promoted to Serie A Brazil. By joining Santos, the 32-year-old player got a salary adjustment based on the club's financial ability.

Quoted from the Daily Mail on Thursday, January 30, 2025, it is known that Santos is only able to pay Neymar 135,507 pounds, aka IDR 2.7 billion per month.

This amount clearly decreased drastically compared to the last payment Neymar received at Al Hilal.

While still in the Al Hilal uniform, Neymar was paid 130 million per year, aka IDR 2.6 trillion. If this amount is divided monthly, what Neymar receives reaches IDR 218 billion.

Even though she had to receive a drastic salary cut, Neymar accepted it because of many factors. Moreover, Neymar is currently trying to restore his condition after the knee and hamstring injuries.

During his career in the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Neymar's journey was not too bright because he received a long injury.

This made him only appear in seven matches and more struggling with injury recovery therapy.

By joining Santos, Neymar is believed to be trying to save the chance to appear in the 2026 World Cup. If Neymar can shine again at Santos, the door for Neymar in the Brazilian National Team is still open.

Santos is a club where Neymar began to be eyeed by the world. Neymar's brilliant performance with Santos ultimately made many major European clubs interested in him.

He finally set foot on the Blue Continent for the first time by joining Barcelona, before being proposed by Paris Saint-Germain with a dowry that broke the club's record.
