Santos has a new financial impasse to worry about. Second To Tribunethe president of the club, Andres Rueda, revealed in a Deliberative Council that Peixe was ordered to pay R$ 13.5 million due to a great confusion involving Barcelona and the forwards Neymar and Giva.
It all started in 2013, when the Catalan club did not carry out the purchase of Giva. It has been six years since Golden Score, one of the companies involved in the negotiation, sues Santos to receive the percentage of 53.33% of the economic benefit of the operation.
Regarding Neymar, the deal was part of something bigger in the player’s transfer to Barcelona. The São Paulo club was ordered to pay the percentage on 1.8 million euros (R$ 10.2 million at the current price) and appealed in order to have its arguments taken into account.
The company involved in the transaction filed a request for a provisional sentence charging BRL 13,384,233.48 and Rueda said that he was taken by surprise with this “bomb”: “After those ten debts of blocking accounts and transfer bans, we now have more That”.
“Do we make mistakes? Yes, nobody is perfect. Let’s take advantage of the error to correct. They can block BRL 13.5 million. Let’s get over it. Every effort and time will be spent to improve our situation on the field”, guaranteed the Santos leader.
