Neymar’s agent Wagner Ribeiro has revealed that he has no relationship with former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell.
Ribeiro and Rosell worked together on the deal that saw the 23-year-old forward join the Catalans from Santos in 2013. Barca initially declared Neymar had cost them €57.1 million, only to later reveal the true cost was in fact around €90m, which included a €40m compensation payment to the player’s father and numerous other payments to his family. Santos only received €17.1m of the total transfer and last week announced that they will sue Neymar, his dad and the Catalans. Ribeiro said: “My relationship with the former president at the moment does not exist. He was not very cordial with me in the negotiations because he knew of my relationship with Florentino Pérez of Real Madrid.”
