  "account": "Former Santos president Luis Álvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro has revealed shocking details about Neymar's transfer to Barcelona in 2013, alleging that the deal included a hotel orgy in London's Piccadilly and extravagant demands from Neymar's father. According to Ribeiro, the €90 million transfer fee included coffees for Neymar's father, private air travel, and a hotel orgy. He also claimed to have paid for around 200 coffees during their meetings. Ribeiro criticized Neymar Sr's requests for luxury travel arrangements, including first-class flights for himself and business-class seats for two advisers. The transfer, one of the most talked-about in football, saw Neymar Sr receive £8.9 million in a pre-contract agreement and an alleged £35.8 million upon completion in 2013.
