Neymar will re-sign with Barca, promises father

Neymar is to extend his contract at Barcelona, according to the player's father.

Neymar's father insisted his son will renew with Barcelona, though the Brazil international is in no rush to sign a new deal.

There is three years remaining on Neymar's existing contract, but Premier League giant Manchester United has been credited with an interest.

However, Neymar Sr has reassured Barca fans the 23-year-old, who is on the three-man shortlist to win the Ballon d'Or, is happy at Camp Nou.

"We are going to renew with Barcelona, that's for sure," Neymar's father said following the La Liga awards.
