In total, Barca amounts to € 86.2 million in addition to expenses related to the arrival of Neymar in 2013 and others working on the periphery of the operation, without taking into account the guaranteed base salary in player (8.8 million per year). In addition to transferring (57.1 million), the signing bonus the player (10 million) and commission agent (2.7 million), the rest of the total is distributed among various costs: a contract of commercial marketing (4 million), an agreement between the Foundation and the player's club (2.5 million) and options on three young players from Santos, the former club of Brazil (9.9 million).

An incredible story , worthy of American fiction. Sandro Rosell , the powerful president of Barça , the man who had brought Neymar , was overthrown by a simple socio named Jordi Cases. The small pharmacist who is wavering empire Barça.
Above all, let us congratulate ourselves on one point: the model of "democracy" system related socios , the supporters of the club -owners , who may at any time demand accountability from their institution. System found at Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Any person who wishes to know the truth can get it ... he puts the control . Jordi Cases and not lack of will.
Cases could also attack the rest of the management
I see you coming and I also think the same thing: yes, I think it was socio manipulated by others who wanted to drop Rosell . The enemies of the former head of Nike in Brazil have always been numerous. And they come over Barcelona as Madrid. Although one might think that Florentino Perez ( if not a few skeletons in his closet , too ... ) quietly savoring what happens to the rival club , the climate around Rosell was pretty heavy ... or more. Several newspapers say bullet wounds were found on the home blaugrana leader during Christmas . We want to believe , so that damage on the day of his resignation ... In any case, the language will not delay to loosen and real faces appear. We slip a word at the end .
Even if the "project" is now played by Josep Maria Bertomeu and he wants to go to 2016 , another bomb could explode soon . In the form of a motion of censure , if it is proved that the whole management team was wet. And not just Rosell . I bet you it will happen soon . The opportunity is too good and the current direction so fragile ...
Meanwhile, the newspaper " El Pais " , who revealed that Neymar had signed a private contract two million ... to " agree to play where the coach ask him , achieved a fairly straightforward picture of what Jordi Cases , now seventy-two hours local figure. A man who said " surpassed " by all that is in the process of arrive , but that has been the spark that politiquo -economic- sports tsunami that has befallen the institution Barça.
A discussion between friends during a dinner has been at the origin of the case. A simple dinner. Jordi Cases, pharmacist its state Olesa , Catalan town of 23,000 inhabitants , and socio third floor at the Camp Nou, exchange with a friend reporter. This one slip that he had an interview with Javier Faus - vice president of economic Barça - shortly before the 2010 elections ( won handily by Rosell ) . Faus told him they were going to put advertising on the jersey instead of " Unicef " non- iconic commercial sponsor . Before pushing for article not so , that Jordi Cases never forgave . For him, it was endorsed : Rosell was a liar .
A discussion then a crusade
Everything started from there. In a simple discussion followed by a feeling of hatred vis-à -vis Rosell accused over months to squander the "brand " Barça in favor of Qatar. Jordi Cases tried two motions of censure , even creating a committee ( " Consulta Qatar " ) to protest against the sale of the jersey rich Gulf States ( 100 million euros over three years). But the window of opportunity is really open when Neymar was presented to the press and Sandro Rosell gave the "details" of the operation. Cases wanted to know where and how were broken the famous 40 million paid to the company of the father of the player , the press reported each day applications increasingly absurd ( a private jet , etc. . ) . He sent a fax to the club, stating his name, his identity and a photocopy of the card socio Cartesian . Today , it waits for the response ...
The revelation of " Neymargate " So from a personal crusade of a man, without great power against another much more powerful. In frustration and a lack of perceived respect. Are certainly not see the shadow of Florentino Perez behind it : it is socio -called " independence " ( Catalan) , an admirer of Johan Cruyff and deeply " culé " . He says he wants the good of Barça. He wanted to Rosell (that it was included) and all those who have tainted the image of the club. Moreover, the fight could not stop there ... Cases do not ask for money . But it is rumored that if a certain Joan L., lawyer of his state and former president offered him a place in a chart - if re-elected - maybe Jordi Cases, the knight without fear or reproach of barcelonisme , would not say no . Will it then the procedure easier if things did not suit him ?
