Barcelona haven't given up on bringing Neymar to the Nou Camp at the end of this season.
The Brazilian winger has insisted he will see out his Santos contract to 2014 before moving to Europe.
However, Sport says Barca continue to explore the prospect of signing Neymar in June.
But they are also wary of upsetting Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro, who has always insisted Neymar would stay beyond the 2014 World Cup.
