Neymar is spending an utterly obscene amount of money on his hair every month

No short back and sides for this Brazilian

I bet he wishes he had a student card.

When you’re earning upwards of €150,000 a week, this is probably a drop in the ocean to you, but the sheer idea of spending this much money on hair is just ridiculous.

According to Spanish website Sport, the Barca forward is spending at least €2,000 a month on his do, despite the fact that he looks like he let a drunk toddler loose on him with some garden clippers.

His barber, Wagner Tenorio, said he couldn’t put an exact figure on the cost of the work, but that it’s never less than a couple of thousand euro.

“When Neymar first arrived [at Barcelona], his hair was in poor condition. He had made ​​too many changes, both hairstyles or colours, that left ​his hair in a poor condition.

“The first thing I did was to cut his hair, and begin processing. Today he has a silky hair.

“I do not have much time to work, but I am at his disposal. He sends a driver to pick me up and take me home. It is difficult to calculate the price [of the business relationship] because this service is not available to all, but I do not do it for less than 2000 euros a month.”

You can’t take it with you, I suppose.
