The case had been brought by the Brazilian investment fund DIS, former owners of the rights of the player, now 24 and who moved to the Camp Nou from Santos in his homeland three years ago.
A judge ruled that the case "could have sporting, ethical and disciplinary repercussions" but said it "cannot be pursued in the criminal courts", according to a statement by Spain's High Court.
