New Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has admitted that his lucrative new contract means he finally feels financially secure enough to start shopping at Waitrose.

The £200m striker was unveiled to the Parisian press this afternoon and was quickly asked about the size of his new £450k a week contract.

He told reporters, “I am not motivated by money, but I admit it is nice to know that I can shop in Waitrose and not worry about what happens when I reach the checkout.

“It’s the little things, like now I can even buy a few branded products and not worry about Waitrose own ‘essentials’ – things I realise the normal fan simply can not do. I know I’m lucky enough to be able to shop at Waitrose and not worry about my total bill, but I have worked hard to get where I am, and I assure fans I will give everything for the cause now I don’t have to worry about my shopping bill.”
