Barcelona have confirmed an end settlement to their long running legal dispute with former star player Neymar.
Neymar has been locked in a wrangling with his former employers since 2017 following his world record €222m move from the Camp Nou to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 giants agreed a fee with the Catalans for the Brazilian attacker but a subsequent row over image rights and bonus payments erupted.
Neymar, who was linked with a sensational return to the club in the last 12 months, has agreed a long term contract extension with PSG and this confirmation ends his link with La Blaugrana.

No details on the exact amounts to be paid out have been confirmed with Barcelona expected to keep it as an internal matter.
