La Liga side Barcelona have released a statement confirming that they plan to sue former player Neymar for the sum of €8.5 million for breaching his contract.
Neymar left Barcelona to sign for PSG over the summer in a world-record transfer worth €222 million.
The statement says that the fee relates to a payment of the ‘first loyalty bonus’ on the contract renewal that lasted until 2021.

It also says that they will ask PSG to pay the compensation if the player does not.
Neymar has made an excellent start to life in France, getting a goal and assist on debut against Guingamp and then scoring twice and assisting twice on Sunday evening during his home debut against Toulouse.
