Neymar is now free to complete his world record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)&acirc;u00c2u0080u00c2u0088after Barcelona confirmed yesterday his 222 million euro (USD 260 million) buyout clause had been received by the Catalan club."
"Yesterday afternoon Neymar Jr's legal representatives visited in person the club's offices and made the payment of 222 million euros in the player's name with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties," Barca said in a statement.
The move had been held up by the Spanish league's refusal to accept the cheque presented by Neymar's lawyers at their Madrid headquarters earlier in the day. La Liga president Javier Tebas said he wouldn't accept PSG's money as he believes the deal will violate UEFA's financial fair play rules.
And Barca added that they will aid UEFA in any future enquiry into whether the French side fall foul of regulations that don't allow clubs to lose more than 30 million euros over three years.
"The Club will pass on to UEFA the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case," continued the Barca statement.
However, UEFA insisted the move doesn't automatically break FFP rules as PSG have time to balance their books. The player is now due to arrive in Paris today, according to airport sources in the French capital, to complete the deal.
