Barcelona star Neymar says he has been affected by the legal issues that have followed him since his arrival at the Nou Camp.
Neymar, 23, is due in a Madrid court on Tuesday to give evidence in a case brought by Brazilian third-party investment fund DIS, who feel they were cut out of the controversial transfer which brought the player to Barca from Santos in summer 2013.
The players’ parents are due to give evidence on Tuesday by video-conference, while Barcelona’s current president Josep Maria Bartomeu and predecessor Sandro Rosell are expected at the Audencia Nacional court on Monday.
The case is just one of a number of ongoing legal investigations into the complex deal — with tax authorities in both Spain and Brazil also looking at alleged irregularities in what took place.
