The incredible demands Neymar's father made to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer

In the information published in L’Equipe detailing the negotiation process between Paris Saint-Germain and Neymar’s representatives — basically Wagner Ribeiro and Ney's father, Neymar Senior — appears some details about what the player wanted from PSG as well as what the French club were offering. 

PSG’s directors were ready to pay the player’s release clause, but the brakes were put on the deal due to some requests from Neymar’s representatives. Supposedly he wanted his 45 million euro tax debt wiping by the club and a salary of 40 million euros per year. 

Wagner Ribeiro was the person who revealed these economic conditions. He also claimed that on offer was a private jet to take Neymar to Brazil games and that PSG’s owners would create a chain of hotels carrying the 24-year-old’s names. 

L’Equipe assure that in reality those would have been demands from Neymar’s side, or in concrete Neymar Sr., because PSG have never made such big offers. 

More than the private planes and a hotel chain, the PSG owners “were not ready to accept the economic conditions Neymar’s father had demanded, which would equal a net salary of 25 million euros, when PSG has offered 10 million euros less, and the wiping of the player’s tax debts. If the club had agreed to this, Neymar would be in Paris today,” the French newspaper concluded. 

Neymar signed his contract renewal with Barcelona last week.
