Neymar, Vinicius, Casemiro: What are the wages of Brazil's World Cup squad? | OneFootball

Brazil‘s squad for the 2022 World Cup is one of the best ever assembled in the history of international football.

Tite’s side are the big favourites to win the tournament in Qatar and after taking one look at the options available to the manager, it’s very easy to see why.

Brazil’s World Cup squad is made all the more remarkable by the fact that you can create a seriously impressive XI made up of players not even on the plane later this month.

As well as being outrageously talented, Brazil’s 26-man squad earn an eye-watering amount of money each week.

Using the Capology website – and Salary Sport for those currently playing outside European parameters – we’ve worked out the wages of each Brazilian heading to Qatar.

Amazingly, 18 of the 26 players are on six-figures weekly salaries…

So. Much. Money.

Seven (yes, SEVEN) of the players in Brazil’s World Cup squad earn £200,000-a-week or more, which is quite frankly ridiculous.

Neymar’s wage is astronomical and he’s the third-highest paid footballer on the planet, behind only Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

The PSG superstar will be desperate to succeed at the 2022 World Cup and win the tournament for the very first time.

Neymar should surpass Pele in Qatar

But even if he doesn’t get his hands on the Jules Rimet trophy, Neymar should at least equal – or even surpass – Pele’s all-time scoring record.

Neymar sits on 75 goals for Brazil, which is just two fewer than the three-time World Cup winner.

The 30-year-old superstar also has 54 assists on the international stage, which is even more than Messi has for Argentina (51).

Yeah, even without a World Cup, Neymar is going down as one of Brazil’s greatest ever.
