However, Barcelona vice president Jordi Mestre revealed that the reigning Champions League holders haven’t opened talks with the South American over a new contract. United signed Anthony Martial from Monaco instead on deadline day but later last month Neymar reignited the speculations after confirming the approach from the Premier League giants. Before I came to Barcelona, they said I would be fighting with Leo and with other players as well.

The 23-year-old, who has already made 100 appearances for the club, felt that his first season with Barcelona under coach Tata Martino was tough.
In an interview with the official club website, Neymar, who helped the Catalans to complete a treble last season along with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, talks about his short and long term objectives.
“Obviously, with Leo it is much easier, but without him I have to try to make it easy and everything should take responsibility for their work and do it in the best way possible”, Suarez added.
Although there are a few more we would have liked to have been included, it’s hard to argue with the Catalan club’s eventual selection. “I changed my game and my life, both for the better since arrived to the club”.
He told Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo: “I am very happy at Barca, and in Barcelona, where I have settled very well”.
While speaking about his special relationship with Messi and Suarez, he added: “I think we surprised people”.
