Roberto Moreno, a lawyer for DIS who are a company that jointly owns Neymar, claims Barcelona offered him a bribe of €4 million to not file a lawsuit against them.
Neymar’s move to the Catalan giants is currently under investigation over claims that the player cost Barcelona more than they initially stated, while the allegations from Moreno add further to the controversy.
“Barça offered me €4 million to keep quiet and not to file a lawsuit against them. They made this offer through André Cury. They made the offer, insisting that that would be the end of the matter,” he told La Xarxa.
“DIS filed a lawsuit against Barcelona, Neymar, Santos and Wagner Ribeiro in Brazil and we will now be taking the matter to the Spanish law courts.
“If there was no problem with Sandro Rosell, then why did he resign? that is very strange. We are demanding our 40% of the Neymar operation. We feel as though we have been deceived by Neymar’s father and by Neymar. We feel cheated and sad.
“We held a great deal of affection for Neymar’s father – we helped Neymar and his family. Real Madrid’s bid was much greater than Barça’s. DIS was not notified of the negotiations with Barça or Madrid – both of them acted behind our backs.”
