The matter of the Brazilian's arrival from Santos in 2013 has been reopened after the Spanish league confirmed they will be launching another hearing

La Liga has officially launched an investigation into the deal Barcelona agreed with the Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office in relation to Neymar's transfer.

Earlier in 2016, the Spanish High Court threw out a case that alleged fraud in the Brazil international's transfer from Santos in 2013.

Barca agreed to pay a fine of €5.5million in order to close legal proceedings but the situation is seemingly not at an end yet, with La Liga seeking more details from the club.

"Following widespread media reports, La Liga confirms an informative hearing will be launched with FC Barcelona in relation to the agreement reached between the club's board and the Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office in the Neymar legal case," read a statement from the Spanish league's office.

The deal exonerated former president Sandro Rosell and current chief Josep Maria Bartomeu of blame, which drew criticism from former president Joan Laporta who claimed "the honour of the club is at stake". story takken from GOAL.COM

Joe Harr does just like Bravo of Man City.

Joe Hart's time at Torino got off to a poor start as an error from the goalkeeper led to Atalanta equalising against his side.

The goalkeeper, on loan from Manchester City after losing out on his place in the first-team under Pep Guardiola, lined up for the Serie A side for the first time on Sunday.

And just as many supporters pointed out that Claudio Bravo cost City a goal in the Manchester derby on Saturday, Hart went and made a similar error in Bergamo.

Iago Falque had given Torino the lead, but two minutes later Hart helped undo his side's good work when he flapped at a corner, allowing Andrea Masiello to knock it into the open net and tie up the score.

The day had perhaps not been going the England international's way from the very beginning, as he had been named on the official team sheet as "John Hart".

Ronaldo wants 10 year contract

MADRID - Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested Real Madrid should offer him a 10-year contract to ensure he sees out his career at the Spanish club.

"If I were the president of Real Madrid, I would give myself a 10-year contract," Real's all time top scorer, now 31, told reporters after scoring on his return from injury in a 5-2 La Liga win over promoted Osasuna.

Ronaldo's current contract runs out in 2018.

"Right now I'm not thinking about anything else in my career, all I want is to retire at Real. This is the biggest club in the world and it should have the best players," said the Portuguese.

Ronaldo also hit back at old adversary and former Barcelona great Xavi for suggesting that Lionel Messi was a better player than the Real striker.

"Xavi never won the Ballon d'Or, I have three," he said, referring to the FIFA award for the world player of the year.

Xavi had told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser last Wednesday that there was "no comparison" between Messi, who has won the Ballon five times, and Ronaldo.

"Cristiano's problem is that there's another player in his era who is the best of all time," he added.

Xavi is seeing out the final years of a glittering career at Qatari club Al Sadd. He won eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues with Barcelona as well as two European Championships and the 2010 World Cup with Spain.

Ronaldo, who had been out of action for two months with a knee injury, won the Ballon d'Or in 2008, 2013 and 2014 and is favourite for another this year after winning the Champions League with Real and Euro 2016 with Portugal.

He played 65 minutes against Osasuna, his first appearance since injuring his knee in the Euro 2016 final.

"I felt good physically, I could have played for 90 minutes without any problems but in some moments I played with a little fear, but that's normal after not playing for so long," said Ronaldo.

"I'm fit again and got back in the swing of things, and I scored a goal, so it was perfect."
