Part 6/8:
The conversation shifts to the financial implications of signing Neymar. His high salary—reported to be over R$ 40 million per month—raises concerns about the return on investment given his recent injury history. In the last six years, Neymar has spent three of those years sidelined due to injuries. As a cautionary tale, other players who returned to Brazil after international careers, like Daniel Alves and Marcelo, have not had successful returns. This fuels debates about the risks involved in signing a player with such a recent track record of underperformance and health concerns.
