The Neymar transfer saga continues to draw attention, not just at FC Barcelona, but also at Real Madrid. Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has spoken out about the transfer of Luis Figo to Real Madrid, suggesting that Real Madrid’s actions were questionable.
Gaspart claimed that Figo’s transfer involved an “illegal contract” where money was allegedly given to Figo while he was still under contract at Barcelona, to persuade him to join Real Madrid. Gaspart expressed his desire for Barcelona to win the championship ahead of Real Madrid, particularly with a goal from Neymar, which would bring him great satisfaction.
Pelé, the Brazilian football legend, also weighed in on the situation, criticizing agents for prioritizing their own interests over the club’s. He expressed concern about the impact of such situations on players like Neymar, hoping it wouldn’t affect them too negatively.
The Neymar case has led to legal battles and controversy, with accusations of “undue appropriation” and questions about the real motives behind the transfer dealings. Sandro Rosell, former president of FC Barcelona, faced legal challenges related to the Neymar transfer before stepping down from his position.
