How much did Neymar Jr. earn from two matches in 2024?

One of the most profitable transfers in football history was made by Neymar Jr. to Al-Hilal. He reportedly made 101 million euros in 2024 in his first two games with the Saudi team. His revenues per touch have been estimated to be an incredible 2.2 million euros, even though he only had 45 mintues in both games. This demonstrates the enormous financial stakes in modern football as well as the enormous earning potential of elite players.

There are a lot of questions and high expectations following Neymar Jr.'s performance against Al Hilal. Since joining Saudi football, the Brazilian player garnered media attention due to his lucrative deal and his adjustment to a new league. He hasn't performed well on the field as many hoped, though, and this has sparked discussion over his performances.

Neymar's 90 million euros transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Al Hilal was one of the most widely reported events in football. However, he was disabled with a major knee injury after just five matches, ending his stint with the Saudi club. However, Neymar had another injury, causing damage to his hamstring, during one of the Asian Champions League games against Esteghlal.

The Brazilian star had a ligament injury in October 2023, but it was healed by October 2024. Neymar made an eagerly awaited comeback to the field following a year of absence due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury when he replaced Al Hilal in the second half of their AFC Champions League Elite matchup with Al Ain. Salem Al Dawsari's goal had put Al Hilal ahead 5-3, but the Brazilian star came on in the 77th minute to replace Nasser Al Dawsari.

Neymar Jr to join Inter Miami 

Since joining Al Hilal in 2023, he has contract with the club until summer 2025. Neymar wants to play for Inter Miami as he hinted to have a reunion with his old teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. However, it will be the best transfer for him as FIFA World Cup 2026 will be held in the USA, Canada, and  Mexico. As per Transfermarkt, his current value is 15 million euros. During an interview, he stated that he wished to play more in the Saudi Pro League.
