Barcelona have released a statement confirming they plan to sue former player Neymar for at least €8.5 million over an alleged breach of contract.
Spanish giant, Barcelona are seeking at least 8.5 million euros ($10m) from Neymar for breach of contract. Barcelona announced this on Tuesday following his world record 222-million-euro move to Paris Saint-Germain.
“In this lawsuit, the club demands the amount already paid as a bonus for the renewal of his contract for breach of contract, 8.5 million euros in damages, and an additional 10% in interests,” Barcelona said in a statement.
Neymar left Barcelona to sign for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record transfer worth €222m (£198m) earlier in August.
Neymar is already feeling at home at PSG after scoring twice and won a penalty as 10-man PSG trounced Toulouse 6-2 to go top of Ligue 1 on Sunday.
