According to Brazilian media UOL, Neymar's return to five months of salary accounts for 40% of Santos' annual salary budget.

The media said that Santos will spend 40% of his estimated total salary for the year on a five-month contract with only Neymar in 2025, which is the result of comparing the player contract with Santos' budget.

Before signing Neymar, there was a hole in Santos' budget. Their estimated revenue is 423.8 million reais, of which 100.9 million reais come from marketing. The budgeted salary expenditure is 200.2 million reais, and another 37.6 million reais are used for portrait rights expenditure.

According to UOL, Neymar's five-month contract is expected to cost Santos 105 million reais (about 16.58 million euros), of which 4.1 million reais are salary (monthly salary), and another 85 million reais are portrait rights fees. The operating logic is to pay 75% of the additional sponsorship revenue to the players, provided that the minimum guaranteed reais 85 million is guaranteed. According to statistics, the club has sold 87 million Real Reals in sponsorship.

Affected by injury, Neymar only played 12 games for Santos in 5 months after returning, scoring 3 goals and sending 3 assists, but 0 goals and 0 assists in 4 games in Brazil's League One.
