Standup9ja: Neymar sues Barcelona over unpaid bonus
A €26 million loyalty bonus has emerged as a point of
conflict between the player and his former employers, and could end up in the
courts
The business that looks after Neymar’s affairs confirmed it
has begun legal action against Barcelona over alleged unpaid bonuses for the
forward.
Barcelona declined to pay a €26 million bonus included in
Neymar’s contract renewal signed in 2016 after completing his world-record
transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Furthermore, the Brazilian faces legal action from the
Catalans over an alleged breach of contract.
The club contended in a statement that the clause relating
to the payment was rendered null and void when he left Camp Nou, while agent
and father Neymar Sr. has accused Barca of “blackmail”.
Now NN Consultoria has announced it will be pursuing the
bonus through the courts in its own counter-suit as the business registered its
“surprise” at Barca’s stance over the matter.
