Barcelona block Neymar's €26 million bonus as PSG edge closer to deal
The 25-year-old global superstar has been in the news recently, linked in a sensational 222m euro move to the French capital – a deal that would be the biggest in footballing history.
These €26 million have been placed with a notary pending to see if the player continues," the source, who refused to be named, told AFP.
