Neymar Reportedly to Be Sued by Barcelona for Breach of Contract After PSG Move

Barcelona will reportedly sue Neymar for breach of contract over his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

The lawsuit revolves around an €8.5 million loyalty bonus on his last Barcelona contract. Spanish football expert Graham Hunter and ESPN FC's Samuel Marsden relayed the news:
