Neymar's eye-watering move to Paris Saint-Germain has been the talk of the footballing world this week.
La Liga
officials tried to block it at the 11th hour, refusing to initially
accept payment of the player's buyout clause believing that the bid was
in breach of Financial Fair Play rules, but the Brazilian is now a PSG
player.
Arsene
Wenger described his £198million switch from Barcelona as 'irrational',
with the Arsenal manager admitting he is unable to compete at the top
end of an inflated market.
Having smashed the previous world transfer
record paid by Manchester United for Paul Pogba last summer, Neymar
will now be expected to sell shirts, move mountains and be the
figurehead of his new club.
To break
down just how much Neymar will earn at the Parc des Princes, his
£500,000 weekly wage works out at roughly: £71,428 a day, £2,976 an
hour, £50 a minute, and 82 pence a second.
