FC Barcelona are claiming from Brazilian striker Paris Saint-Germain Neymar 10.2 million euros which were allegedly granted to him in error, El Mundo reported on Wednesday.
The dispute is based on the fact that the Catalan club did not declare as much tax as it should have done on Neymar's income when he was a player at Barcelona, where he played between 2013 and 2017, Barca sources told AFP, confirming the news.
It does not matter if you are looking for something to do with it.
Spanish tax authorities believe that Neymar "benefited from + unjustified enrichment" because the Brazilian ended up collecting the money that was not paid in taxes.
According to the newspaper, the tax office has warned the club that if this amount is not regularized, it will be considered a donation made by the club in favor of the Seleçao star.
Even if in this case, the claim concerns FC Barcelona and not Neymar, the latter is one of the people who owes the most money to the Spanish Treasury.
According to a list of the main debtors of the Kingdom's Fiscal Agency published at the end of September, the Brazilian, with an amount of 34.6 million euros is the person currently with the largest debt accumulated with the Spanish Treasury.
