A Spanish judge agreed yesterday to hear a lawsuit brought by a Barcelona club member against president Sandro Rosell regarding the cost of the transfer for Brazil striker Neymar.
After a preliminary examination of the contracts involved in Neymar's signing, judge Pablo Ruz wrote in a ruling there is "sufficient elements for the admission of the lawsuit" brought by club member Jordi Cases.
On Monday, Rosell insisted the total cost of 57 million euros (US$74 million) to bring Neymar from Brazilian club Santos announced at the player's presentation last June was correct. Cases alleges the amount paid by the Spanish champions was higher. Cases told El Pais newspaper on Monday "the lawsuit is against Rosell, not against Barca."
