The case involving Neymar’s transfer to FC Barcelona has caused tension between the club and Spanish justice. FC Barcelona expressed “energetic indignation” in response to the National Court prosecutor’s request for further investigation into a complaint regarding the contracts related to Neymar’s recruitment. The complaint, filed by a club member, accuses President Sandro Rosell of “undue appropriation,” claiming that members were unaware of the actual destination of the transfer amount. FC Barcelona defended its position, stating that the prosecutor’s decision casts doubt on an operation that allowed the club to recruit Neymar for €57 million, emphasizing the confidentiality of the financial arrangements.
