Xavi "tired of" Neymar transfer saga

Barcelona midfielder Xavi has revealed that he is "tired" of the transfer saga surrounding Neymar's move to the club in 2013.

Neymar's transfer initially cost Barca roughly £42m but an investigation has revealed that the transfer could have cost £63.6m instead.

As a result of this, the Catalan giants have been hit with a transfer ban for the entirety of 2015 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

However, the investigation is still hanging over the Spanish team, and Xavi reveals that the sooner it all finishes, the better.

"The Neymar theme has been going on for over a year now, and we're tired of it," the 35-year-old said, according to Goal.com.

"It's a difficult issue for everyone. We don't like these off-field issues and it'll be good if the case is closed as soon as possible.

"The other day I was with the president, and we both agreed that it's uncomfortable for everyone but that's what we have to endure."

Since his transfer from Santos, Neymar has gone on to make 45 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 25 goals.
