Barcelona will pay Santos FC of Brazil the sum of £1.4 million which is part of one of the clauses included in his contract if nominated amongst the final three for the Ballon D'or.

Neymar was nominated alongside Messi and Ronaldo and the terms of the contract need tobe quickly looked at. The said sum is not related to Neymar winning the Ballon D'or but with his enlistment in the final three.

Lionel Messi is favourite to win, but critics have argued that Messi and Ronaldo have so far monopolized the award in the past seven years. Hence, if this criticism is going to influence voters, Neymar is likely to get the award.

Those expected to vote in the award are National team coaches of countries, Captain of National sides and Media representatives from each country.
