Bartomeu green light over new Barcelona deals for Neymar, Busquets

Barcelona are moving to upgrade the contracts of several first teamers as they prepare for a year without the summer transfer window.

Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has agreed to the new policy, which will see the club open talks with several senior players to 'shield' them from being tempted away this summer.

Sergi Busquets and Neymar will be offered new terms, says AS.

Busquets has offers from the Premier League and with his deal carrying a €25 million buyout clause, he could be lured away.

However, Barca will table new terms to 2020, with his buyout clause jumping to €175 million.

Neymar will also be offered improved terms to 2020.
