The Barça admits that the signing of Neymar cost 100 million euros

One of the lawyers of the FC Barcelona, Cristóbal Martell, would have recognised as it publishes "The Avant-garde", in an information collected also the portal "weloba.cat", that the Barcelona club committed a grave fiscal error during the "Operation Neymar". The lawyer like this would have admitted it during the last extraordinary board made this past Monday, ensuring that the cost of the signing of Neymar will finish repercutiendo in a total of 100 million euros, roughly. 

Cristóbal Martell would have confessed to the directive of the Barça that made too late the complementary statements of the signing, without carrying out the corresponding fiscal retentions of the payments as it can see in the report of the Agency Tributaria, what unchained the open cause by fiscal crime that carried out the judge Pablo Ruz in the National High Court.

As puntualiza "The Avant-garde", if the FC Barcelona had credited when it had to do it the corresponding retentions of the signing, right now the entity culé would not be immersed in a trial by presumptive fiscal crime. The club carried out the fiscal retentions the past 25 February, but already was afternoon and the operation already was being investigated by Ruz. If the magistrate dictates finally fiscal fraud of the Barça, the club will have to credit 62% of the money that did not pay when in the suitable moment, always according to the newspaper mentioned.

The documents revealed by Mattos

The Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Mattos, of UOL Esporte, has put of self-evident through his blog some documents in which it puts to the discovered the strategy of purchase of federative rights of Neymar by part of the company N&N of his father. Of this form, the reporter reports that the father of the footballer of the FC Barcelona lucró of the traspaso indirectly with the economic rights of the player, removing part of this money to the Saints. In the documents showed by Mattos, in any case, can read how FC Barcelona and Neymar already had agreed the signing on 15 November 2011, although the Brazilian landed in May of 2013 to the Barcelona club.

In this precontrato, however, remained also writing that Neymar went to incorporate to the FC Barcelona in summer of 2014 taking into account that it finish agreement with the Saints by these dates, although at the end the incorporation advanced to avoid that the Real Madrid did with the player paying more money. As it can appreciate in the documents, the FC Barcelona would have had to pay 40 million euros to the company N&N of the father of Neymar.
