Barca’s Rosell resigns

The president of Spanish champion Barcelona resigned on Thursday to fight criminal accusations he misappropriated funds from the signing of Brazil forward Neymar. Sandro Rosell is facing a lengthy legal battle after a judge ruled on Wednesday he will hear a lawsuit alleging the real cost of Neymar’s transfer from Santos was hidden.

Rosell insists Neymar joined for 57 million euros (US$74 million). The suit, brought by club member Jordi Cases, alleges the cost of Neymar’s transfer was around 95 million euros.
