They understand each other again. FC Barcelona and Neymar have agreed and are already smoking the pipe of peace. This Monday, the Catalan club announced that it closed "extrajudicially and in a friendly way" the different labor and civil litigation that it had pending with the Brazilian star, former culé player.

"The club and the player have signed a transactional agreement to put an end to the judicial procedures that were pending between the two parties: three claims in the labor jurisdiction and one civil procedure," announced Barcelona in a statement.

Neymar represented Barcelona from the 2013-14 season to 2016-17 and was key to achieving several titles. Subsequently, and a few months after renewing the contract for the Barça entity, the "Canarinha" tip went to PSG, in an operation that led to several crossed lawsuits.

The transfer of ‘Ney’ for the French team was made in exchange for 222 million euros, the highest figure in history, 77 more than what PSG paid AS Monaco for Kylian Mbappé a year later. Philippe Coutinho, for 135 million from Liverpool to Barcelona, closes the Top 3 of that category.

After being part of the Brazilian team that finished runner-up in the Copa América, Neymar has been enjoying a few weeks of vacation. In short, the attacker will have to join PSG's preseason work, where he will meet new faces, such as Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georginio Wijnaldum.
