João Neves earns nearly €150,000 a week, but he turned up for Paris Saint-Germain training in a battered-looking van worth about €7,000.

The Portuguese midfielder’s choice of vehicle surprised people who saw him arrive at the club’s facilities. Despite now ranking among the better-paid footballers, Neves appeared to have little interest in displaying that wealth through an expensive car.

The image quickly went viral on social media. Many users focused on the striking contrast between the size of Neves’s contract and the humble van that took him to training.
