Neymar transfer news as Barcelona linked star makes definitive statement on his Paris Saint-Germain future

Barcelona-linked Neymar has dropped the clearest hint yet that he'll sign a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian became the world's most expensive player in 2017 when the French giants activated the €222million (£198m) release clause in his contract at Camp Nou.

Neymar has been linked with a return almost ever since, with Lionel Messi particularly keen to reunite with his former team-mate.

With his contract at PSG expiring in 2022 it was thought that a move could happen this summer, despite Barcelona 's difficult financial situation.

But the 29-year-old appears ready to commit to staying at the Parc des Princes as he hinted a new contract is coming.

Neymar told RMC: "Everything is almost settled.

"We're in discussions with Paris, we're not in a hurry.

"I feel at ease, I really feel very happy here at Paris Saint-Germain.

"I do not think that the club has changed, or that it is me who has changed. But the dressing room, the environment around us, makes us become more and more happy."

Neymar has scored 84 goals in 109 games since moving to France but has been unable to help PSG win the Champions League.

They reached the final last year before losing to Bayern Munich, and face Manchester City in this season's semi-final.
