Neymar has made one condition before signing his contract renewal with FC Barcelona. The Brazilian forward is prepared to reject the huge offer from PSG to continue wearing the Barça colours for the coming seasons, but the player wants to ensure he can concentrate solely on football.

Therefore he has asked Barça to come to an agreement with the investment group DIS, that owned 40% of Neymar's rights before he signed for the Catalan club.

The Brazilian company took legal action in June 2015 against the two clubs involved in the transfer, Santos and FC Barcelona, and also against the player and his family. They included Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu in the action, along with those in charge of the Brazilian club, Luis Alvaro de Oliveira and Odilio Rodrigues, for alleged corruption and theft for agreeing a simulated contract.

Barcelona have accepted this request from their player and have begun attempts to reach a definitive solution to the case. A group of the club's legal representatives have arranged to travel to Brazil in the next few days to meet with DIS, with the intention of arriving at an agreement which would finalise a situation which is causing concern to all involved.

This is despite the fact that the recent pact with the Spanish tax authorities would favour the club in the DIS case, as it would certify that the disputed 40 million euros paid to Neymar's father should be considered salary.

However the club is prepared to negotiate with DIS. At this moment in time, the two sides are far apart. The Brazilian company is asking for around 17 million euros to withdraw their case, while Barça thinks that seven million euros are more than sufficient to compensate the DIS claim.
