A lawyer for the Brazilian company DIS, holding about 40 percent of Neymar's sports rights, claims that the footballer and former Barcelona presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu should go to prison for five years.
"Our case is based on two things. The first is private corruption. And the second is fraud in the execution of the contract. The real clause of the contract Neymar signed with Barcelona was that they would keep the money that they had to pay the company and Santos - €65 million," said the lawyer of Globoesporte. In addition, DIS demands a fine of €2.5 million for Neymar.
Neymar played at Barcelona from July 2013 to August 2017. The player spent 186 games with the club, where he scored 105 goals and gave 76 assists.
In total, the player played 479 meetings in his career, where he scored 286 goals and gave 180 assists. Transfermarkt estimates the transfer value of the player at 75 million euros.
