Former Santos president: Barcelona paid for orgies for Neymar's father
While speaking in an interview to ESPN Brazil, Former Santos president, Luis Álvaro Ribeiro has given a detailed overview of the €90 million transfer that Barcelona paid for Neymar while calling the player’s father a two-faced liar.
“Included in the €90 million that Barcelona supposedly paid for Neymar, included coffee for his father and an orgy at the Hotel Piccadilly in London,” he was quoted on Spanish website AS. “Neymar’s father charged off everything. He never paid for a coffee. I paid for all 200 coffees he drank with me. That also includes a plane to take him to Florianápolis to see the national team. There was no lack of money. He had Cury, a Barcelona advisor, who had orders to spend almost the same as Neymar.”
He continued, “Neymar’s father is a liar, he’s only thinking about the money. To give you an idea, in the last contracts, he demanded a clause in which the club should pay him for first class tickets and two in business class for his advisors when there was an away game. “
“The same for the national team or the Paulista tournament. A man with the money he has…He earned €1 million a month. He had a 70-foot yacht and two houses on the coast of Sao Paulo. He even put up walls so his son could have parties without his mother’s knowledge. I’m disappointed. He is a two-faced liar.”
“I thought Neymar’s father was my friend, but today, if I saw him in front on my car, I might step on the accelerator.”
“Neymar is a child, a good boy. He’s always smiling. He’s my friend. He agreed to stay here for three years with me, even though his father didn’t want him to. When Neymar said he was disappointed in me, it’s because I called his father to tell him what a liar he was and that we’ll never be friends again. But I don’t care because he’s set for life, full of money, but someday, his career will end.”
