Neymar confirms he wants deal to happen amid Manchester United interest

Neymar has confirmed he'd like a new deal at Barcelona

NEYMAR has ended speculation that he could move to Manchester United by claiming he wants a new deal at Barcelona.

The former Santos man was a target for the Red Devils over the summer, and he confirmed there had been contact between his representatives and the club.

Reports suggested United were willing to splash out up to £240million to lure the 23-year-old to Old Trafford.

 

And Barca understandably started to get twitchy at the prospect of losing their star man, and issued statements saying he would remain with the club 'for life'.
However, with a new deal not yet signed speculation continued to grow that the Brazil international could be leaving the Nou Camp.

But all that seems to have been ended now by Neymar himself, who stated that he is 'very happy' at the Catalan side and wants to pen a new deal.
He told Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo: "I am very happy at Barca, and in Barcelona, where I have settled very well.

 

"I have three more years left on my contract, and my father looks after these things. Of course [I want to renew], but we'll talk about that later.
"My only concern at the moment is to be focused on helping the team and to keep winning trophies at Barca."
