If you thought the headlines involving Neymar Junior and FC Barcelona were over until January at least, you were mistaken. According to SPORT sources, the court case involving the Brazilian against his former club will go ahead as planned this Friday.

Neymar believes he is due the rest of his payment after signing a new deal with Barça in 2016. The club, for their part, is claiming they want a percentage of the money paid to him - €20M - returned after the Brazilian ended up joining PSG.

The now PSG star wants the rest of his signing on bonus - almost €44m - alongside interest which has accrued since the delays took place.

Neymar isn't required to attend the case but it remains unclear what he'll do. Josep Maria Bartomeu won't be there but Neymar's father will be in attendance.

 

The case is set to be heard at the Ciudad de la Justicia in Barcelona on Friday at 9:45am.
