BBC announces that Newcastle United's defender Jonjo Shelvey surpasses Barcelona forward Neymar in one aspect.
Currently, Newcastle United is in second to last place in the English Premier League and could move to the Championship league next season.
According to the press, the England national team player earns 80 thousand pounds per week within Newcastle United, while the Brazilian player from the Catalan team earns less - 77 thousand euros.
Rafa Benitez's team tried to negotiate with Shelvey to reduce his salary if the team drops to a lower division, but the defender refused to discuss it.
