Barcelona reject speculation of Neymar transfer

Barcelona director Jordi Mestre insists that Neymar will not be sold this summer.

Barcelona director Jordi Mestre has rubbished speculation that Neymar could leave the club this summer.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are believed to have enquired about the Brazilian, who has struggled for form in a difficult period for Barcelona.

Luis Enrique's team have lost their last three games in all competitions, and are level on points with second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.

Manchester United have also been linked to Neymar in the past, but Mestre has insisted that the club are happy with the 24-year-old forward.

"Of course not," The Mirror quotes Mestre as saying. "That is something that keeps coming up, but I have said it many times - we are delighted with Neymar. And Neymar will not be sold. We have not even thought about doing it.

"This season he has been spectacular. He has not scored recently, or things have not gone as he wanted, which has brought out some comments, but they are pure speculation."

Neymar reportedly has a £150m release clause in his contract.
