5 things that are costlier than India's Sports Budget

#3 Neymar Jr. (estimated price €500m or $623.13m)

Neymar became the most expensive football player in the world last year.

Brazilian superstar became a phenomenon in world football during his time at FC Barcelona. To add to his skills and pace on the ball, the former Santos man was further helped by the fact that he was playing alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Anders Iniesta in a supremely talented FC Barcelona sid. He won two La Liga and one Champions League titles during his time with the Spanish giants.

However, PSG snapped him up in a mega-deal that cost the French Ligue 1 side £198m ($279.6m). Although Neymar does not have any release clause on his PSG contract, according to reports, other clubs seem to have valued him at a much higher rate than India's Sports Budget.

Indeed, there have been reports doing the rounds in the English media that Premier League giants Manchester United had lined up a €500m bid for him.
