Barcelona paid €95 million for the services of Neymar, which is €38m more than the €57m officially reported. The Brazilian arrived at Camp Nou from Santos Last summer.
€95m is the fee that figures in the contracts signed the copies of which lie with Spanish high courts.
According to the newspaper 'El Mundo', there have been previously undisclosed agreements that have seen Neymar's family pocket millions of euros in commission.
Some €2m was paid to the player's father to scout "new prospects at Santos" and another €4m relates to an undertaking to secure "advertising contracts with Brazilian companies". In addition, €2.5m was given to the Neymar family towards social causes, specifically aiding "children in the São Paulo favelas".
Neymar has had an excellent start to his career in Spain.
