His salary will decrease next season following his contract extension last year. Still, the amount is colossal, not to mention the various Qatari sponsorships (Qatar National Bank, Qatar Airways, etc.).
Furthermore, L’Equipe explains, “seen from Doha, the feeling that Neymar’s motivation is waning dominates. The impression that he has no not always doing everything possible to be at their best is tenacious.”
The Qatari shareholders have even gone as far as sending messages to the player’s entourage, even if Neymar is working hard to come back from his last injury is a step in the right direction.

Efforts despite everything deemed insufficient, with the impression still very present that Neymar prefers Paris to PSG.
The French publication reported: ‘The French club’s shareholders feel they have been cheated out of their money.’ PSG lashed out £200million to bring the former Barcelona star to the Parc des Princes in 2017.
Over five seasons in Paris, the club have also had to pay out more than €500million (£417,00,000) in expenditure costs related to Neymar’s salary. Over in Doha, the club’s owners feel that they have failed to see a return on their investment from Neymar on the pitch.
Neymar’s performance at PSG
Neymar is not enjoying the most prolific season for PSG netting just seven times in Ligue 1 amid a season plagued by injuries – and has faced his fair share of criticism from both the media and his own fans.
Supporters were left unimpressed after the Ligue 1 side crashed out of the Champions League to Real Madrid in the last 16. Days after the defeat, Neymar, along with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, was booed during PSG’s 3-0 win over Bordeaux, even getting jeers after making it 2-0.
