Rosell takes on the judge over Neymar

Sandro Rosell is to ask the number 5 magistrate's court of Spain's High Court for territorial jurisdiction to ensure that the judicial process related to the complaint filed against him by disgruntled club member Jordi Cases be heard in Barcelona. He will do this because the complaint was filed in the Catalan capital.

Rosell will make the request three days after the public appearance in which he asked that judge Ruz summon him to testify "as soon as possible", in order to clarify, without breaking the confidentiality clause, what he is charged with in the complaint filed by Jordi Cases.

In his judicial decree, the judge made it clear that he will not yet summon the Barcelona president because he does not consider it a matter of "urgency". After studying all the requested documentation, Ruz thinks there could be a case of contractual simulation, which is why he decided to admit the complaint from Jordi Cases.

The judge wants to continue gathering information and to this end will ask FIFA for all the documentation related to the signing, the player and contract signed with N&N. He has also requested the contracts for the payments of €7.9m for the rights of three of Santos' youth players, and €9m for two friendlies.
