Barcelona to stand trial over Neymar signing

Barcelona will stand trial over claims that they tried to mislead tax authorities over the high-profile signing of Neymar.

The Catalan club claimed that they had bought the Brazilian forward for €57m (£41.2m), although a judge has suggested that the fee was in fact far higher, which means that more tax should have been paid.

Current and former Barca presidents Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell have now been given 10 days to respond to the court.

Barcelona have previously denied any wrongdoing regarding the signing of Neymar, who join from Santos in 2013.
