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.<br />
According to the newspaper 'El Mundo', there have been previously undisclosed agreements that have seen Neymar's family pocket millions of euros in commission.<br />
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".<br />
Neymar has had an excellent start to his career in Spain.
