Now, three years later, the club announces via its website that the dispute is resolved and that Barcelona is the winner.

“The club welcomes the verdict published today in the trial between FC Barcelona and player Neymar Jr regarding the sign-on bonus in the player's last contract extension. The verdict means that the player's request is rejected and that he is ordered to pay the club's legal costs of EUR 6.7 million (just over SEK 70 million).

Neymar can appeal the judgment.
