Anyone following the Neymar transfer scandal?

Apparently Rosell is stepping down in light of Neymar's suspicious transfer. If Barcelona are convicted of a fraudulent transfer over Neymar, the club could be suspended from CL for 2 years and deducted 22 points in the league.

Only Serie A is corrupt. :howler:

Rosell being corrupt isn't new, he was already accused of funneling money from Brazil's friendlies into a US bank account in his name (yet that has apparently been brushed under the carpet because I haven't heard about it in months). And Neymar transfer was shady from day one, saw that coming from miles away.

Laporta should come back, he might have done some questionable stuff too but he was awesome. Rosell is just a dumb shit.

Apparently Neymar's transfer is the most expensive ever, but Barca cooked the books.
They paid Santos €17.5m and 'third party ownership' the other €40m. That third party is Neymar & Neymar, no surprises who that is owned by. On top of that Barcelona previously paid his father €10m outright so he went to them instead of Real Madrid.

All seems above board....Problem is, the way they are set up as a club overlapping a business is conducive to acting in this manner.
