Marca reported that lawyer Juan de Dios Crespo deposited the sum at La Liga’s offices on Thursday but this has been rejected by league president Javier Tebas.
The 25-year-old’s contract, signed last October, stipulates that when the amount is paid the player can legally leave the club.
The former Santos star is set to move to PSG a world record transfer and completed a medical in Porto before arriving in Paris either on Thursday night or Friday morning, say reports.
