Neymar hints at Barcelona stay on Twitter
Barcelona star Neymar has been the subject of quite a bit of speculation ahead of the opening of the summer transfer window, as he undergoes contract negotiations with the Catalan club.
Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu insisted that Neymar will not be sold, telling reporters: "In the coming days we will confirm the renewing of Neymar's contract for the next five years."
That process seems to be wrapping up quite nicely, with the Brazilian icon taking to social media to express his desire to remain at the club:
Muito feliz de continuar vivendo esse sonho! VISCA BARÇA y VISCA CATALUNYA 🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/N8KXEgt5eA

"Very happy to continue living this dream!" Neymar wrote, in Portuguese. "Long live Barca and long live Catalonia."
Neymar, who is set to lead Brazil during Rio 2016 as one of three players over the age of 23, has been linked to the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Real Madrid by way of the activation of a €200-million release clause, but an exit from Camp Nou seemed unlikely for the lithe superstar.
It seems Neymar's long-term future remains with the mighty Catalan outfit.
