Businessman Neymar da Silva Santos, father of player Neymar, is the target of a R$58.9 million lawsuit brought by the company that sold him a R$94.5 million mansion in a luxury residential condominium in Santana de Parnaíba, in Greater São Paulo.
The dispute involves a house in Alphaville valued at R$32 million, which was given as part of the payment for the mansion. D.Y.T.T. Property Administrator, seller of the house, states that the property has pending issues related to irregular works and, therefore, wants to receive the R$32 million in cash.
In the first decision of the case, judge Bruna Lyrio Martins, from the 5th Civil Court of Barueri, denied the urgent request made by the company as she understood that, at the moment, there were not enough elements to modify the agreement between the parties. The case is still active and will be judged.
The goal of D.Y.T.T. is to prevent the transfer of the Tamboré mansion from happening definitively before the dispute over the Alphaville house is resolved.
The company also included in the action the charge related to the retention of values for the works and a loss and damage clause supposedly provided for in the contract, which is equivalent to 20% of the total value of the deal. As the mansion was negotiated for R$94.5 million, the charge calculated based on this percentage reaches R$18.9 million.
With the updated values and other requests presented by the company, the value attributed to the case reached R$58.9 million.
g1 sought out Neymar's defense, but received no response until the last update of this report.
The R$32 million house
According to the process, in May 2025, Neymar Sr. signed a contract to buy a mansion at Residencial Tamboré 3, in Santana de Parnaíba. The expected price was R$95 million, but was later reduced to R$94.5 million.
An important part of the payment, however, would not be made in cash. The agreement provided that the businessman would hand over to the selling company a house he owned at Residencial Alphaville 2, in Barueri. The property was valued at R$32 million and corresponded to around a third of the total value of the business.
This type of operation is called payment in payment: instead of paying off a debt with money, a person delivers another asset as payment.
It is precisely this house that D.Y.T.T. now he says he no longer accepts it under current conditions.
According to the records, the Alphaville property was already the subject of a legal dispute when it was included in the deal. Associação Residencial Alphaville 2 went to court questioning works carried out on the property in violation of the subdivision rules.
In March 2023, the Court ordered that adjustments be made to the property so that it complied with internal residential rules. The São Paulo Court of Justice upheld the decision, and the case reached the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), with an appeal still pending.
D.Y.T.T. maintains that Neymar Sr. assumed responsibility for the condition of the property in the contract and should deliver it under regular conditions. Neymar Sr.'s defense understands that the company already knew about this situation and, even so, decided to continue with the business.
The businessman's lawyer classified the attempt to replace the house by paying R$32 million as an "absurd, unreasonable and disproportionate intention".
In another statement presented in the documents, the defense stated that the payment had been agreed freely and without conditioning the resolution of the action involving the Alphaville house.
Another R$ 1.8 million in dispute
Another point in the process involves R$2 million that was temporarily retained to carry out final adjustments to the Tamboré mansion. According to D.Y.T.T., a term in the contract provided that this money would be used for expenses related to the completion of works and that the balance would be returned later.
D.Y.T.T. calculated that the amount charged related to retention, with updating and interest, reached approximately R$1.8 million.
Among the points presented by the company are damage to bowling, spa, kitchen, painting and finishing areas in general:
