Barça reported this Tuesday in a statement that “The Sports Arbitration Court (TAS) has completely rejected the claim filed by Santos before FIFA, in which he demanded from Barça the payment of 61,295,000 euros in damages, with the corresponding sports sanctions, as a result of the transfer of the player Neymar Jr “.
The TAS considers, always according to the note from Barça, “that the contract between Santos and the player was mutually terminated, that FC Barcelona did not breach the transfer agreement when it paid additional amounts to the player's father and to the N&N society , and that FC Barcelona did not commit any fraudulent conduct when it signed the pre-agreement with Neymar Jr, nor when it signed the transfer agreement with Santos “. The TAS resolution also orders Santos to pay the procedural costs to FC Barcelona, for an amount of 20,000 Swiss francs.
