After snubbing moves to West Ham and Chelsea, Neymar‘s father Neymar Santos Snr took over as his son’s agent.
It’s then the Brazil star left Santos for Barcelona – but both the player and his dad faced corruption charges related to compensation owed to Brazilian investment group DIS.
The group were reportedly entitled to 40 per cent of Neymar‘s transfer fee three years ago – only to be handed a much smaller compensation sum.
However, despite all the controversy throughout his time in La Liga, the Brazil international has cemented himself as one of world football’s biggest stars.
Yet it’s not just his unquestionable skill on the ball that’s grabbed the headlines during his time in Catalonia.
