Neymar hit with tax fraud proceedings in Brazil

At the time, though, the group said Neymar‘s value was already close to 60 million euros.

Neymar’s father reveals that Manchester United made a world-record £144m bid for the Barcelona attacker during the last summer transfer window.

Clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea have all failed to impress their fans with consistency.

However, Neymar Sr. also said in front of judge Jose de la Mata that his son intends to renew with Barça and that he has given him orders not to listen to any other offers.

The federal prosecutor’s office alleged that the striker committed the crimes between 2006, when he was just a promising youngster at Brazilian football club Santos, and 2013, when he signed for Barcelona. Brazil’s federal prosecution service accused the player, full name Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, and his father of forging contracts to pay less tax. Neymar left without giving any details about his testimony, but his father said their position has not changed and they again denied wrongdoing.

The biggest rumour to come out so far is involving Barcelona superstar Neymar and the EPL Giant Manchester United.

Globo Esporte broke the news that after missing out on Pedro Rodriguez to Chelsea, the Red Devils launched a €190m bid to make Neymar the marquee signing of the summer.

A Brazilian company Grupo Sonda, which was entitled to 40 percent of the transfer money, claims it has been financially damaged.

“You are an exceptional player and I wouldn’t like to see you going down in history marked by a crime”, Sonda said.

He then went on to win the Puskas award for a stunning strike against Flamengo, was named South American Player for the Year two years running and even made the final 23 of the Fifa Ballon d’Or.
