The business that looks after Neymar’s affairs confirmed it has begun legal action against Barcelona over alleged unpaid bonuses for the forward.

Barcelona declined to pay a €26 million bonus included in Neymar’s contract renewal signed in 2016 after completing his world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Furthermore, the Brazilian faces legal action from the Catalans over an alleged breach of contract.

The unpaid loyalty bonus is also being investigated by FIFA, although the world governing body has so far declined to comment on the matter.
