A Brazilian investment group is asking soccer club Santos to disclose financial details of Neymar’s 57 million-euro ($75.2 million) move to Barcelona.

DIS Esporte executive director Roberto Moreno said by phone that in 2009 the group paid Brazil’s Santos 5.5 million reais ($2.6 million) for 40 percent of the 21-year-old forward’s transfer rights, and hasn’t heard anything from Santos since the team agreed to trade the player last week.
