"I always signed what my father told me to sign." This is star Neymar's alibi at trial. A weak alibi according to the international media. The 30-year-old PSG man is on trial in Barcelona accused of alleged irregularities in connection with his 2013 transfer from Santos to Barca.

"My father has always been in charge of contract negotiations. My dream has always been to play for Barcelona. I could go to Real, but I have always loved Barça", assured the player.

The PSG Brazilian has been questioned by the prosecutor on the charge of corruption, for which two years in prison and a 10 million euro fine are required.

It all starts with the complaint of corruption and fraud by the Brazilian DIS fund. They, at that time, owned 40% of the player's card. DIS believe that Neymar's transfer price was much higher than stated. As a result, they have benefited less than they were entitled to.

In the trial are also the two former presidents of Barcelona, ​​Sandro Rosell (who risks a 5-year sentence) and Josep Maria Bartomeu.

Neymar, who officially went from Santos to Barça for 57.1 million euros (of which 40 went to the player's family and 40% and the remaining 17.1 to DIS), has always denied the allegations.

But after losing an appeal to the Spanish Supreme Court in 2017, he was forced to go to trial. DIS has stated that it will demand 5 years in prison for Neymar, also the detention of Rosell and Bartomeu, as well as compensation of 149 million euros. On the other hand, the Spanish prosecutors seem oriented towards the request for two years in prison for the player. O'Ney would also be fined 10 million euros in this case.
