Just as the situation with Leo Messi appeared to be on the brink of resolution, another controversy has emerged involving the second star of Barcelona, Neymar. According to sambafoot, FC Barcelona, Santos, and Neymar’s father could face legal proceedings over the transfer of the Brazilian striker, with potential deception in the transaction.
The Sonda group, holding 40% of the economic rights of the standout player from the recent Confederations Cup, has announced its intention to file a lawsuit against the parties involved, alleging misuse of a substantial sum related to the transfer. José Barral stated to Spanish radio Cadena Ser, “We are preparing the documents to denounce Barça, Neymar’s father, and Santos. We held 40% of Neymar’s economic rights, but we only received 40% of 17 million, not 57 million. We received 6.8 million when we expected more than 16 million. For this, we are going to court.”
