Leonardo: 'No rush over new Neymar deal at Paris Saint-Germain'

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has affirmed that there is no rush over a new deal for Neymar, who is out of contract in 2022.

The Brazilian attacker has endured an injury-hit campaign with the Ligue 1 champions, but he nevertheless boasts a respectable six goals and four assists from 14 top-flight matches.

Neymar has been strongly linked with a return to Barcelona after entering the final 18 months of his PSG deal, but Leonardo remains calm about the situation and has insisted that they are in no hurry to agree fresh terms.

Speaking to Canal + ahead of PSG's win over Metz on Saturday, Leonardo said: "Neymar's extension? We are in no hurry.

"Nobody is running behind us, we are really quiet, we have very good and frank reports."

The PSG chief was also asked about the future of Kylian Mbappe - also out of contract in 2022 - but Leonardo is optimistic about the striker's chances of signing a new deal at the Parc des Princes.
