Josep Maria Bartomeu points finger at Neymar
Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu blames Neymar for the way his presidency panned out, according to OKDiario. The Blaugrana finished last season without a trophy despite sacking two managers.
Neymar moved to PSG after the French side agreed to pay his release clause back in 2017. Despite winning the Ligue 1 in France, Neymar wanted to move back to Catalunya last summer.
However, a deal could not be agreed to bring back the Brazilian last summer due to the fee involved. Bartomeu faced a no-confidence vote but elected to resign with his board or directors.
Speaking after his resignation Bartomeu said:
