The reason why Neymar will never come close to what Messi or Ronaldo generate

Lionel Messi is without a doubt the player who gives the most profit to a club in a league in economic question. Neymar, although he generates a great impact on the clubs he attends, does not generate the same at a sporting and economic level for an entire league. Without Lionel Messi, the Spanish League would lose much importance; the same would not happen if Neymar leaves Ligue 1.

Neymar is a fantastic player but he does not generate in the public what Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo generates alone. Neymar will surely be placated by the era and the Messi-Ronaldo confrontation. There is no player who is compared to Neymar and has a personal duel, so he does not have that added value like the Messi and Ronaldo duel.

When Neymar decided to leave Barcelona to play for PSG, it was expected that Ligue 1 would grow in level, public and importance and that has not happened on a large scale. Messi, on the other hand, is everything for the Spanish League since he is the player who gives the most profit not only to Barcelona but to the entire league in the country. Since the appearance of Messi the Spanish league grew 100%.

Cristiano Ronaldo is another player who generates, to a lesser extent, something similar to Messi since with his arrival in Serie A he finished giving him the importance that the Italian league deserved. Today, even though Neymar is in France, Ligue 1 is still a second-tier league compared to the Premier League, Serie A or the Spanish League.
