I believe that the issue with the transfer is not Spanish tax but French tax. The money given to Neymar to pay his release clause would be considered as a salary advancement and this amount would then be taxed in France. The quoted figure is approximately 100 million euros. Well I’m no tax expert so don’t argue the point with me. I wouldn’t know how to counter argue on tax related matters.
Anyways, IF this is actually true then I don’t think that even PSG can afford such a deal. The taxes would make it astronomically high. I reckon that the board should just organise some pop corn and watch PSG and the Neymars battle it out. There’s no way that NeyDaddy is going to fork out extra cash from his pocket for the tax.
The way I see it, PSG and Neymar need Barcelona to negotiate a tax friendly agreement (i.e. one that probable involves a player swap). If that truly is the case then we should just ignore them and tell them to piss off. Let’s see if they like it when it’s done to them.
The Neymar fight might have been staged to force the club into negotiating but we shouldn’t give in. This is after all a World Cup season, Neymar can’t continue like this forever. Toss the brat into a dungeon until he realises what he stands to lose. Time for Barca to stop being pussies. Take a hard stance for once.
