Barcelona have announced that they are to sue their former star Neymar over breach of contract following his record breaking move to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian forward left the Catalan club last month in a £198 million move to the French capital but Barcelona announced on Tuesday that the club is seeking repayment of his 8.5 million euros (£7.8m) bonus for the renewal of his contract with an additional interest of 10 per cent.

“FC Barcelona have sent a claim to be made against Neymar for breach of contract to the RFEF for it to be passed on to the French Football Federation [FFF] and FIFA,” the statement read.
