The £59.3 million move is still being investigated by the Spanish courts, with the exact fee under the spotlight.

The transfer was initially claimed to have cost Barcelona €57 million (£40m), however later analysis showed the overall fees were €86.2m (£60m).

Neymar expects to be exonerated from the legal action being taken against the Catalan giants and says he will not let it affect his football.

"My business is playing football, which is the thing I love to do," he told media in Brazil. "I'm not going to mess that up.

"We are already addressing the court issue, my father is working on it. If the court seeks justice, as it should, then everything will turn out all right.

"I am fed up by what's happening. There comes a time when it p****s me off but it will never disturb my performances on the pitch."

Neymar missed Brazil’s exit in the quarter-finals of the Copa America after he was banned for four matches for violent conduct in the aftermath of defeat by Colombia in the group stage.
