FC Barcelona sues Neymar for $10m over PSG transfer
Catalan football
giants FC Barcelona on Tuesday took legal action against their former star
Neymar, demanding 8.5 million euros ($10 million) over what they called breach
of contract.The club also demanded that Neymar pay back the sum he received
when he extended his contract last year, given that the Brazil forward has now
paid his 222 million euros ($261 million) buy-out clause to join Paris
Saint-Germain, reports Efe.
"The club demands from
Neymar Jr the amount already paid for the renewal premium due to the breach of
contract, in addition to 8.5 million euros in damages and an additional 10 per
cent in arrears," FC Barcelona said in a statement. Barcelona said they
had sent the Royal Spanish Football Federation the lawsuit against Neymar that
they submitted on August 11 to a court in Barcelona so it could pass it on
"to the appropriate authorities in the French Football Federation and
FIFA", Barcelona said in a statement.
