These are the best of the Neymar transfer jokes following the Brazilian’s high-profile move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for a fee in the region of £200m (€222m).
The forward becomes the world’s most expensive player by quite some distance after the controversial, convoluted deal was eventually confirmed on Thursday and is set to earn over £40m per year in salary.
With debate surrounding the enormous numbers involved set to continue, here are the best Neymar transfer jokes so far:
£198m for this Neymar lad. World's gone mad. He's got the skills but not the grit of a proper English player like Mark Albrighton

TBF to Neymar, he's done well for a lad that once died during a World Cup and was publicly mourned by his team-mates pic.twitter.com/aFflazbaHN

If Neymar dropped a £2 coin, it literally wouldn't be worth his time picking it up, because in France they use Euros, not Pounds.

But I think PSG wanted someone to play left wing, not on the right…

£198m for Neymar
To put that into context, that's a week's stay for a family of five at Center Parcs with 3 kids who want to do everything

£200m for a footballer. I think that's roughly what the Millenium Stadium cost and I'm pretty sure Neymar doesn't have a retractable roof.
— Stuart Murphy (@stuart_murphy) August 3, 2017
For £198M yeah, Neymar better win PSG the bloody World Cup.
— Toboré (@toboreeee) August 3, 2017
If Neymar is worth £198m just imagine how much Jordan Cook is worth.
Yep, probably still a free transfer.
