The president of the Spanish “Barcelona” football club, Sandro Rossel, resigned from his position because he did not want to hear unfair accusations against the team. This is reported by the Spanish mass media.
Let’s remind that Rossel is accused of embezzling 40 million euros during the process of Neymar’s transfer. A Madrid court accepted the case against Rossel on Wednesday. It is said that he received a bribe of 40 million, and the transfer of Neymar was obtained for a higher amount than presented. According to the Spanish media, Neymar’s transfer actually cost 94.4, not 57.1 million euros.
“I never once stated that the transfer of Neymar was done according to all the rules. Many are envious of such success as Barcelona, and that is why such rumors have spread. I don’t want such unfair accusations against the team, so I’m leaving. It was a great honor for me to work here, and I am very grateful to everyone,” Rossel said.
We should add that from now on the duties of the president of “Barcelona” will be performed by the club’s vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
