Neymar-Am Fed up

The Brazilian is frustrated with his transfer from
Santos to Barcelona still being under legal
scrutiny, but says his performances won't take a
hit
Barcelona forward Neymar has admitted that he
has been frustrated by the way his 2013 transfer is
being dragged through the Spanish court system.
The 23-year-old's transfer from Santos to Camp
Nou was initially claimed to have cost the Liga
club €57 million, although subsequent analysis
showed the overall fees were €86.2m.
The revelations played a part in Sandro Rosell
stepping down as Barca president in January 2014
and, this year, Spain's courts decided to press
fraud charges against the newly-crowned European
champions as well as Rosell and his successor
Josep Maria Bartomeu over the financial
irregularities.
Neymar is trying not to let the allegations affect his
form and fully expects himself to be exonerated
from the legal action being taken against the
Catalans, who secretly paid €40m to a company
owned by his father to ensure he would choose to
join Barca over any rivals.
"My business is playing football, which is the thing
I love to do," he told Brazilian media on a visit to
the Pele Museum. "I'm not going to mess that up.
"We are already addressing the court issue, my
father is working on it. If the court seeks justice,
as it should, then everything will turn out all right.
"I am fed up by what's happening. There comes a
time when it p****s me off, but it will never
disturb my performances on the pitch."
Neymar hit the headlines for the wrong reason in
June when he was handed a four-match Brazil ban
for his actions in the aftermath of Dunga's side's
defeat to Colombia in the Copa American group
stage.
Without the Barca forward leading their attack,
Brazil crashed out in the quarter-finals on penalties
to Paraguay.
