NEYMAR is reportedly closing in on a new mega-money Paris Saint-Germain contract.
And the Brazilian will also pocket a ‘huge bonus’ if he leads PSG to Champions League glory.
Fabrizio Romano claims Neymar, 29, is in the final stages of agreeing terms on a new five-year deal to keep him in France until 2026.
Reports had suggested Neymar could be set for a stunning exit this summer with his current contract expiring in 2022.
But it appears PSG have won the battle to hold on to their prize asset.
And Neymar, who is already the top earner in Ligue 1 on £607,000-a-week, is now set for a big pay day.
The forward’s wages are set to go up once he puts pen to paper on the contract agreement.
And PSG chiefs will also reward Neymar if he can secure the continent’s top prize – the Champions League.
However, Neymar’s new pay packet is unlikely to see him overtake Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who are the two top earners in European football.
Ronaldo pockets £900k-a-week at Juventus, while Messi is on a mind-boggling £2.1m-a-week at Barcelona.

PSG will next turn their attention to keeping Kylian Mbappe, who is also out of contract in 2022.
Unlike Neymar, the 22-year-old still has his whole career ahead of him.
And with strong interest from Real Madrid, there are more serious doubts over Mbappe’s long-term future in the French capital.
