This Is How Much It Would Cost for Neymar to Join Pachuca for the 2025 Club World Cup
With the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 just days away, Neymar Jr. is once again at the center of transfer speculation. The Brazilian star is being linked as a potential short-term signing for Pachuca, the Liga MX club set to represent Mexico in the global tournament hosted in the United States.
How much would Neymar cost for one month?
According to Brazilian media, signing Neymar would require a payment of approximately 97 million Mexican pesos — about $5.5 million USD — for just one month of competition. While steep, the investment could be justified by the unmatched commercial, sporting, and media impact the superstar would bring.
Who made the first move — Pachuca or Neymar?
There’s been some back-and-forth in the reporting. While RTI Esporte claimed that Pachuca opened talks with Neymar on May 28, sources from RÉCORD suggest it was actually Neymar’s camp that initiated contact, offering the player to the club through a proposal shared with nearly every participating team in the tournament.
So far, no final decision has been made, but the deal remains possible, thanks to a special FIFA transfer window that allows temporary reinforcements exclusively for the Club World Cup.
What would Pachuca gain with Neymar?
Signing Neymar would mean more than goals and assists — it would be a seismic moment for Mexican football:
- Global brand exposure like never before
- Massive commercial boost through sponsorships, merchandise, and ticket sales
- Sporting prestige at one of the biggest stages in club football
- The chance to field a global icon with experience in the biggest matches
Could Neymar face Real Madrid?
That’s the headline everyone is dreaming of. Group H features Pachuca, Real Madrid, Al Hilal, and Red Bull Salzburg — setting up a possible clash between Neymar and Los Blancos.
The Brazilian forward has a storied history facing Madrid, with legendary duels from his time at Barcelona and later PSG. Seeing him suit up for Pachuca against one of his greatest rivals would be a must-watch spectacle, especially for fans in the U.S.
