But that will give the Brazilian plenty of time to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in Paris.

The forward, who is out of contract in 2021, is believed to have settled in the French capital, after reportedly struggling at first.

And he’s got his favourite haunts, including an exclusive nightclub, Brazilian restaurant, as well as the Parc des Princes – all close to his £6.5million home.

Here’s how Neymar lives his life.

HIS HOME

In 2017, Neymar moved into a stunning five-storey mansion that’s worth £6.5million.

Once an architects home, it was built in the 1950s and lies 10 miles from the centre of Paris.

Built across 10,800 square-feet, it boasts a giant indoor swimming pool in the basement – complete with sun loungers and a view out onto the sprawling 5,000 square-metre garden.

In addition there is a sauna, Turkish bath and massive games room to have fun with his pals.

Legendary French actor Gerard Depardieu was was believed to be a former owner.

But Neymar doesn’t own it himself. Instead, he’s paying a reported £12,800 a month to rent the property.

With his salary around the £550,000-per-week mark, that doesn’t even make a dent in his monthly take home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To celebrate turning 28, Neymar rented his favourite nightclub for an exclusive bash.

YOYO, which is barely half a mile from the Eiffel Tower, was the scene for his all-white party in the Parisian hotspot back in February.

Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and ex-Manchester United ace Ander Herrera turned out in force despite the heavy rain.

And it was clearly a night to remember for Neymar, who looked dapper in a white hat.

Over the years, some of the world’s best DJs have appeared at YOYO, including Dimitri From Paris and Trentemöller.

EATING OUT

Like many Brazilians, Neymar loves eating steak.

Whenever he’s in Dubai, he heads straight to Salt Bae’s Nusr-Et Steakhouse for a fillet mignon.

And in Paris, he’s got BOTECO – a restaurant that serves Brazilian cuisine, including fresh meat, and is reasonably priced with mains costing around £12.

“I love Boteco, a fantastic little Brazilian restaurant and cocktail bar,” Neymar told Emirates.com.

“More importantly, it’s very authentic, too.”

Diners have scored the restaurant four and a half stars on TripAdvisor, raving about the drinks and delicious tapas.

FAST CARS

Thanks to his huge salary, Neymar can afford the best cars in the world.

And he has a penchant for Ferraris, owning a GTC4 Lusso worth £250,000 as well as a 455 Italia that costs £165,000.

But it’s not just wheels the ex-Barcelona ace loves. He’s also got a fondness for wings.

Neymar is reportedly the proud owner of a £6million Cessna 680 jet.

The private set of wings can transport up to 12 of his mates and has a maximum flying range of 3,190 miles.

He was also said to have owned another private jet and a luxury yacht, but they were reportedly seized in 2015 after an investigation into his tax affairs.
