Football Leaks continues to reveal confidential data on player contracts, with Neymar being one of the most detailed players. After the bonuses for applauding fans and as Al-Jazeera interviews, are now given more information regarding Neymar’s move to PSG in the summer of 2017.
The transfer of the Brazilian striker was set at 222 million euros, the value of Neymar’s termination clause at Barcelona, but Football Leaks says that the values are higher than the official numbers. According to information made public, Pini Zahavi and Neymar’s father each received 10.7 million euros in commissions. The Israeli agent played a very important role in moving the Brazilian to Paris. This ‘super agent’ was a sports journalist and since 1988 has dedicated himself to the career of agent management, having also been responsible for the transfer of Rio Ferdinand from West Ham to Manchester United. He currently has in his client portfolio players like Carlos Tévez or Lewandowski.
In addition to these commissions, PSG paid Santos 8.7 million euros due to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, which is aimed at training clubs. The accounts are over 30 million euros, adding to the 222 paid by Parisians.
