There was speculation as the lawyer that paid Neymar's release clause - Juan de Dios Crespo - appeared at Barcelona's offices. However he was there on a mission unrelated to the Brazilian PSG star, RAC1 revealed.

Crespo was present to negotiate the departue of Ariedo Braida from Barcelona, with the Italian director another of his clients.

Braida took over the international area in January 2015. He will leave Barcelona in the coming days. 

 

Crespo is a Valencian lawyer specialised in sports law and it was he who turned up at the LFP offices to drop off 222m euros in 2017 from PSG to free Neymar from Barcelona.
