Barcelona is denying reports that the club reached a deal with tax authorities in Spain to avoid tax charges on the transfer of Neymar last offseason.
Neymar's official transfer to Barcelona was €57 million, but an additional €37.9 million payment was also made to a company controlled by his father.
Barcelona has already paid €13.6 million in taxes though club president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said he expects that money returned.
Barcelona released the following statement:
"In response to various stories published over the last few hours, FC Barcelona would like to categorically deny that they have communicated to the Public Prosecutor a commitment to reach an agreement confirming the existence of any misdemeanor in relation to the tax authorities, in order to close the case brought before the National Courts relating to the signing of Neymar."
