Both the club and the Brazilian forward himself have confirmed he will formally put pen to paper on Monday and join the Camp Nou giants this summer
Barcelona have officially confirmed they have reached a deal with Santos to sign Brazilian star Neymar, who will sign a five-year contract with the club on Monday.
The forward himself also broke the news through his Instagram and Facebook accounts and revealed his appearance against Flamengo on Sunday would be the last he makes for his boyhood club.
The transfer deal for Neymar, who opted to join Barca over Real Madrid, will be worth around €28 million with the player’s deal tying him to the Camp Nou club until the summer of 2018.
The Brazil international will earn around €7m-a-year at Barcelona, who have also agreed to play two friendly matches against Santos – one at home and another away – as part of the deal.
Neymar’s contract with Santos had been due to run until after World Cup 2014 but he was always widely expected to move to La Liga this summer so the club could secure a transfer fee for his services.
