Monthly salary of 700,000 euros! AS: Santos will be able to renew Neymar s contract only if they succeed in relegation

"AS" reported that Neymar's future at Santos is full of uncertainty, and his contract renewal negotiations have reached a deadlock because the club is facing relegation pressure and financial crisis.

Santos’ current priority is to avoid relegation and will not advance negotiations before then. Although Neymar made a huge contribution in commercial sponsorship after his return, his competitive performance was a disaster. In 2025, he missed 54% of the games due to injury.

In addition, Neymar’s monthly salary of up to 700,000 euros combined with the club’s debt of more than 13 million euros makes Santos’ financial situation precarious. Despite this, if the team succeeds in staying in the Brazilian League, the possibility of Neymar staying in the team is still very high.

The club plans to balance its accounts by selling youth players. In view of the good relationship between the two parties and Neymar's desire to maintain his form in Brazil to participate in the 2026 World Cup, staying in the team is regarded as a win-win option, and the final result is expected to be announced before the end of the year.
