Neymar to Receive Huge Bonus From PSG if He Beats Messi & Ronaldo to Ballon d'Or

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar is reportedly in line to receive a €3m bonus from the club if he wins the Ballon d'Or in December, recognising the Brazilian as the best player in the world.

Neymar was named on the 30-man shortlist for the sport's most prestigious individual prize, handed out by magazine France Football, earlier this month.

According to Le Parisien, collecting the trophy will entitle Neymar to a €3m windfall. And it wouldn't be a one-off either, as his contract, which runs to 2022, apparently stipulates that he will get another €3m each and every time he wins the Ballon d'Or in the coming seasons.
