Barcelona chief Josep Vives: We're not thinking of Neymar sale

Barcelona chief Josep Vives says the club is confident Neymar wants to stay.'

Vives was reacting to reports of PSG willing to pay an astonishing €222 million to bring Neymar to the Parc des Princes.

"Selling Neymar is not something the club would think about," Vives said at a press conference. "We are very calm.

"He is one of the most important players we have, we will not consider any offers we receive for him."

Neymar rejected a move to PSG last summer, stating that he was happy with life in Spain and that he felt at home with Barcelona, something Vives says has not changed.

"He is still happy here," he added. "Playing as he did last year, he showed that he is still getting better.

"He is fantastic and is happy with the club and we are delighted with him."
