Club spokesman Josep Vives held a news conference with Barcelona director of legal services Roman Gomez Ponti, and described the case as a chapter that has caused a lot of headaches … but everything is now over.
This decision, along with the agreement in accordance passed by the Board of Directors, brings the Neymar case to a definitive end.
Vives added: We knew that following the agreement that this could have a positive effect on the Neymar 2 affair, and that was indeed the case.
The club needs to clear up all these legal matters so that the fans and members can concentrate on sport.
