Neymar has to repay €6.7m to Barcelona over bonus disputes

PSG star Neymar has been ordered by the court to repay €6.7m to his former club Barcelona.

Neymar signed a five-year extension in 2016 with Barcelona which included a renewal bonus worth €43.6 million with €14 million paid up front. The remaining €29 million were due to be paid on 1st August 2017.

The Brazilian forward left Barcelona on 3rd August after PSG activated his €222 million release clause. Barcelona hence refused to pay Neymar the remaining bonus as he had broken the terms of the contract.

The PSG forward had filed the lawsuit in August 2017 claiming the bonus amount. Now the verdict has come in favour of Barcelona, though Neymar can appeal against this decision.

Barcelona released an official statement: “FC Barcelona expresses its satisfaction with the verdict announced today by Social Court 15 in Barcelona in relation to the lawsuit involving FC Barcelona and the player Neymar Jr regarding the amount of the signing bonus in the final renewal of the player’s contract.”

“The ruling has fully dismissed the player’s claim for payment of 43.6 million euros and has accepted a large part of the defence presented by FC Barcelona, as a result of which the player must return 6.7 million euros to the club.”

“Since the player’s representative is entitled to appeal this decision, the club shall continue to fervently defend its legitimate interests.”

Neymar has sued Barcelona for bonus amount, but on the other hand, the Brazilian is desperately searching for a way to return to Camp Nou. Messi has also expressed his desire to play with Neymar again. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to bear such a huge transfer money, as all the clubs have been financially hit by the Coronavirus pandemic.
