That’s a big relief for FC Barcelona! Thanks to FIFA’s Club Protection Programme, Barça won’t have to cover Neymar’s salary while he’s sidelined from that injury caused by Zuniga in the Brazil-Colombia match.
Starting August 2, FIFA will pay Barça €13,972 daily after Neymar’s mandatory 28-day wait, and with a 45-day expected recovery, Barça should receive around €238,000 in total.
A tidy sum to ease the financial pressure while they wait for Neymar to get back on the pitch.
