will have to pay 51.74million in back taxes

Possible PSG and City come calling, and offer him record type salary, to help pay off his debts.

I want to call bs but I'll give you a chance to explain. How did the rules change and only effect Neymar and not all the other millionaire Brazilians?

Brazil has one of the worst tax codes in the world. They have statutes that completely contradict each other and it's notoriously regarded as the one of the hardest to be in compliance with.

Combine that with its systemic corruption, and it's not hard to see how guys like Neymar get the shaft.

Messi´s still got problems with Spanish ´fiscalia´. These South Americans refuse to have proper counsel, and pay the consecuences.

To be ´fair´, had he stayed, he´d be OK. The same probably would have happened to Pelé, had he gone to Europe.

PSG pres + all the South Americans on the team have been begging him to come to Paris, would easily offer him a record breaking deal.

I literally have no clue about PSG's financial situation but could they pay Neymar and Zlatan? Or is Zlatan already out the door?

Qatar Investment Authority owns PSG and is worth about 200 billion so I'd say yeah they can afford it

As crazy as having him in a front 3 with Messi and Suarez?

Neymar can easily afford someone who knows what they're doing to do his taxes for him.

Why would Brazil be out to get their favorite son?

he'd have been better off paying the right gangster to pay off the right officials years ago. would have saved money

that's how shite works in south america

there are 3 possibilities

1. emotional (he left brazil)
2. corruption (he didn't pay off the right guy when approached so that bureaucrat was like "frick that")
3. legitimate (brazil has a lot of corruption issues and it's a major political situation there)

brazil's shining example of "doing it the right way" (a huge construction conglomerate) was just busted for corruption

there is a current scandal going on where a prominent figure who is being investigated/prosecuted for corruption just got nominated to the presidential cabinet, as they are basically immune from prosecution. it's pretty bad over there

National pride goes only so far. If national pride were the ultimate motivation of the will, then Brazil wouldn't be so fricked up to begin with.

Besides, Brazil is run by people. People have personal motives. Greed is usually a pretty big one. They confiscated properties and cars. Where do you think those are going to go?
