Real Madrid forced to reveal value of bids for Neymar in 2011 and 2013
Jose de la Mata, the head of the Central Court No 5 of the Audencia Nacional, asked Real Madrid as well as other European teams like Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Manchester City for the offers they sent between 2009 and 2013 to Santos, Neymar or their representatives.
As was reported on Wednesday in Vozpopuli, Florentino Perez's side were the first to respond, through an official statement. The club reported they offered €45m in 2011 and €36m in 2013 to try and sign the forward.
In addition, Madrid said the company Doyen Group, a powerful investment fund specialist in the football market, acted as an intermediary between Los Blancos and the Brazilian's men.
Again according to the media cited, this diligence is to find out if Neymar received a better offer than that being made by FC Barcelona. In that case, the entity headed by Josep Maria Bartomeu would have had to pay over the €57m they were recognised as paying as the total transfer cost of Barcelona's No 11.
