Posted by Sky News on Wednesday, 23 August 2017

When this young kid aged 17 walked into this first game for his country it was like he had been playing for England for years.. I had the pleasure of captaining a side that had Wayne Rooney in it because as a captain you want players that have passion , desire and a winning mentality and that's what Wayne was all about which is why he went on to break records for club and country ... Personally I'm sad to see him step away from playing for England because one of the reasons our fans love him so much is how much wearing the three lions means to him and that will be missed ... Wayne was a special talent , is a special talent and will continue to be that special talent that we all love... 119 OUT 🦁 🦁🦁🇬🇧 @waynerooney @england @manchesterunited

FOOTBALL : NEYMAR SUED BY BARCELONA OVER BONUS FEES !

- Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Edit this post

FOOTBALL : NEYMAR SUED BY BARCELONA OVER BONUS FEES !

The world's most expensive footballer, Neymar, has a little bit of headache to fret about.

He is being sued by his former team Barcelona for some USD $10 Million of unreturned loyalty bonus, following his world record move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

By Neymar's new bank-crashing USD $450 Million price tag, the amount is - - in any measure - - a bit of loose change, really.

Neymar is being sued...by Barcelona!

His former club want him to return a renewal bonus of £7.8m.

Reaction of the club following the press release of FC Barcelona concerning Neymar Jr. - - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

Paris Saint-Germain was surprised to learn of the press release issued today by FC Barcelona announcing the introduction of legal proceedings in Spain against its former player Neymar Jr. and stating that Default of payment by Neymar Jr. of the sums so demanded by his former club, the Paris Saint-Germain should assume jointly the burden of it.

The Club recalls that, like Neymar Jr., it strictly respected all applicable laws and rules and can only regret, once again, the attitude of FC Barcelona.- - OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN FC
