Barcelona actually paid €95 million for Neymar, some €38m more than the €57m officially reported by Sandro Rosell. According to the newspaper El Mundo, this is the fee that figures in the contracts signed between the club and the Brazilian player, copies of which are now in the possession of the Spanish High Court. El Mundo journalists Eduardo Inda and Esteban Urreiztieta refer to seven documents spanning the period from November 2011 to September 2013, bringing to light three previously undisclosed agreements that saw Neymars family pocket millions of euros in commission. Some €2m was paid to the players father to scout new prospects at Santos, the club where Neymar made his name. A further €4m relates to an undertaking to secure advertising contracts with Brazilian companies, while another €2.5m was given to the Neymar family towards social causes, specifically aiding children in the São Paulo favelas.
