PSG in no hurry to tie Neymar down to new deal, says Leonardo

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo insists that his club will not rush into penning a new contract with star forward Neymar.

The Brazilian's current deal expires in June 2022, meaning that he would be free to leave on a free transfer next summer if PSG fail to strike a new agreement.

Despite recent reports that Barcelona could attempt to bring home their former star, though, Leonardo is not worried about the prospect of losing his compatriot.
