Spanish giants, FC Barcelona have announced that they will sue their former player, Neymar Jr to a tune of EUR8.5 million.

The Club confirmed in a statement that it is demanding Neymar Jr return the contract renewal bonus he received as well as EUR8.5 million in damages and an additional 10% for the arrears

See statement below:

FC Barcelona has sent the Spanish Football Federation the labour lawsuit against Neymar Jr they submitted on 11 August at the Labour Tribunal in Barcelona so that they can pass it on to the appropriate authorities in the French Football Federation and FIFA.

In the lawsuit, the Club demands the player return the already paid sum for his contract renewal as he has not completed his contract; 8.5 million euros in damages; and an additional 10% because of delayed payment. The Club also requests Paris Saint-Germain take on responsibility for the payment of these fees if the player cannot do so himself.

FC Barcelona has started these proceedings to protect its interests following Neymar’s contract termination just months after he signed a contract extension until 2021. This legal defence will be carried out following the established procedures with the competent authorities without entering into any verbal arguments with the player.

Neymar recently joined French club Paris Saint German in a big-money move to the French capital which cost the club around EUR222 million.

Barcelona is a bad loser. Shame on you

That means their cowardise has no bound

Too much story, bla bla bla.

Sore losers.


They should be worried about their aging squad of over 30's. Their reign is about as good as over.
