Neymar Jr., one of the world's most recognizable soccer stars, is set to make a surprising return to his boyhood club, Santos. However, his salary at the Brazilian side will be a far cry from the astronomical sums he earned at Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Hilal.

According to reports, Neymar's salary at Santos will be a mere fraction of what he was earning in Saudi Arabia. While the exact figures haven't been officially released, it's estimated that Neymar's monthly earnings at Al-Hilal were around €6.6 million. In contrast, his salary at Santos is expected to be closer to €160,000 per month. This represents a staggering 97.6% decrease in his earnings.

The Brazilian superstar's decision to take such a significant pay cut has raised eyebrows, but it highlights his deep-rooted love for Santos and his desire to give back to the club that nurtured his talent. Neymar's return to Santos is expected to generate immense excitement among fans and could potentially boost the club's finances through increased merchandise sales and ticket revenues.

While Neymar's salary at Santos may be a fraction of what he was earning in the Middle East, his net worth remains substantial. According to sports business website Sportico, Neymar's estimated net worth is around $1 billion.
