The first intervention as president of Josep Maria Bartomeu, in January 2014, was to try to explain the entanglements in the numbers of Neymar's hiring of the previous year that forced Sandro Rosell, his predecessor, to resign. Later, both went to trial, accused of a tax offense for alleged irregularities in their signing. And although Rosell and Bartomeu were exonerated, the club was tainted. In an unprecedented event, Barcelona pleaded guilty in 2016 to two crimes against the Tax Agency. But like his arrival, the Brazilian's departure to PSG in 2017 - who paid his termination clause in full, 222 million - also ended up in court. Now the legal proceedings have been ended."Barcelona informs that it has closed extrajudicially and in a friendly way different labor and civil litigation that it had open with Neymar," the Barça statement started; "The club and the player have signed a transactional agreement to put an end to the judicial proceedings that were pending between the two parties: three claims in the labor jurisdiction and one civil proceeding."

When Neymar del Santos was signed, Barcelona announced that the transfer had been set at 57 million and later admit that it had actually cost 86 and, incidentally, assume a double tax offense and agree with the Treasury to pay 5.5 million. Meanwhile, Neymar was also condemned by the federal Treasury of Rio de Janeiro to pay about 45 million euros for tax evasion committed between 2011 and 2013, since he did not pay about 14 million in taxes to the treasury. And the mess multiplied during his departure. It turns out that in 2016, when they renewed him, the club promised to pay 40 million more as a transfer bonus. A

that Barcelona understood that it was an award for stretching the relationship with the entity but that it was left half because they only paid 14 as a reward for the 2016-17 season.

It was the last and there were another 26 million pending for the last four years.

And he ended up on trial because Barça justified that the award was for respecting the duration of the contract while the Brazilian considered it a prize for the renewal.

Thus, the club ended up claiming 14 million from the player and Neymar 26 from Barça.

Despite all the trials and entanglements, Bartomeu tried to sign Neymar again on two other occasions, unable to convince PSG, also to pay the required amount.

Now, still with Neymar in the Parisian club, Barcelona has closed the disputes with the player and, finally, they seal the peace.
