The future of Neymar and his imminent renewal of his Paris Saint-Germain has been at the forefront of Barcelona news in recent weeks as it would end any lingering ambitions of a Camp Nou return.
The Brazilian star was not involved in the Parisians comprehensive 4-1 win over the Blaugrana on Tuesday at the Camp Nou due to an injury but could return in time for the second leg next month.
Whilst neither the club nor the player have yet to confirm a new contract for the forward in Paris, a report from Qatar Today claims he has agreed a new deal through to the summer of 2026 at the club.
