Barcelona are seeking at least 8.5 million euros ($10 million) from Neymar for breach of contract, the club said yesterday as the bitter fallout rumbles on from his world record 222-million-euro move to PSG.

"In this lawsuit, the club demands the amount already paid as a bonus for the renewal of his contract for breach of contract, 8.5 million euros in damages, and an additional 10 percent in interests," Barcelona said in a statement.
Neymar signed a new five-year deal with Barca in 2016, but left for PSG a year later. Barca added the demand was lodged against Neymar on August 11 with Barcelona's employment court, eight days after his stunning move to Ligue 1. Moreover, Barca urged PSG to pay the amount they are seeking if Neymar — who is reported to earn 30 million euros after tax for the next five years in Paris — isn't able to meet their demands.
