Barcelona said at the time of Neymar’s move that the transfer
figure was 57.1 million euros, of which 40 million was paid to Neymar’s family.
DIS received a 40 percent share of the remaining 17.1 million that
was paid to Santos.
"Neymar's rights have not been sold to the highest bidder.
There were clubs that offered up to 60 million euros," DIS lawyer Paulo
Nasser told a news conference in Barcelona on Thursday.
The court in Barcelona where the trial will be held said Neymar
will have to appear in-person on Monday for the first day but it is unclear if
he will be asked to stay for the whole hearing that could go on for two weeks.
Neymar, his parents, Rosell and Bartomeu will start their
testimony next Friday.
