La
Liga giants Barcelona have rejected the reports linking star attacker Neymar
with Manchester Untied.
The
reports from the recent days have been saying that the Brazilian who is
currently suffering from mumps has been targeted by Man Untied boss Louis van
Gaal.
The
Dutch manager is yet to sign a striker this summer and is planning for the Brazilian 's move. Man United have been planning for a bumper contract for Neymar. However, SkySports
reported that the Catalans have denied the rumours and revealed that they will
soon be offering him a new long term deal at the Camp Nou.
The
Sky
Sources claimed that the Red Devils enquired about his availability
last week.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said that they are planning to give him a new
improved deal.
Bartomeu
told Catalan radio station Catalunya Radio that these are just rumours and
Neymar is happy at Camp Nou.
“Those
are just rumours and what people write but there is nothing to it. Neymar is
happy at Barca. We don't want Neymar to leave at all.”
Meanwhile,
his agent Wagner Ribeiro also revealed that his client will not be leaving the
Spanish side. He has three years left on his current contract.
Neymar
joined Barcelona in 2013 summer for a fee around £50million. He has been
impressive since his debut, he has scored 54 goals in 92 games for the La Liga
side in all competitions.
