Neymar's former agent Wagner Ribeiro says: FC Barcelona will die
Wagner Ribeiro has published a controversial tweet about Catalan independence
He is no longer Neymar's agent but he still works closely with the player's father
Wagner Ribeiro, the agent that offered Neymar to Real Madrid, has written a controversial tweet on social media, where he's offered his opinion on Catalan independence.
Ribeiro, who was Neymar's agent until 2011 and still works with the player's father, wrote: "Catalonia will become a Luxembourg after it's separation [from Spain]. And FC Barcelona will die."
Alongside the words, Ribeiro included a photograph of Leo Miyagata, the young kid who was pictured crying after Barça 2006 Club World Cup defeat.

Remember that Ribeiro returned to the scene in the summer when he was involved in pushing through Neymar's move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona.
Facing charges for tax fraud in Brazil, he explained how the negotiations were going as the French side prepared to pay the Brazilian's release clause worth 222 million euros.
And he was in Paris when the deal was completed and Neymar was presented at the Parc des Princes.
