A $262 million dollar transfer would have been just fine had it been any other footballer and not Neymar. The former Barcelona star is now hated as much as he was once loved by fans. In a shocking development, as reported by a British tabloid, Barcelona fans directed death threats at him during the club's match against Chapecoense.
The immense love for the footballer converted into sheer hatred the moment he decided to quit Barcelona. Well, this isn't the first time fans have reacted in the wake of shocking transfers. During Gonzalo Higuain's transfer from Napoli to Juventus, pizza joints in Naples promised selling pizza for as less as one euro if Higauin got injured for Juventus.
Legendary Portuguese footballer Luis Figo's transfer wasn't any good either. He moved from Real Madrid to Barcelona. And while taking a free kick in one of the matches, a Barca fan threw a pig head at him.
Now as Neymar faces one death threat after another, lets wait for the next transfer window to open.
