Neymar Snr: PSG exit rumours are fun; never held Barcelona talks

The father of Neymar insists he's not had any contact with Barcelona about the PSG star returning to the Nou Camp.

Neymar Snr assured on Telefoot of his son's commitment to the Parisians.

"There are two people who speak for Neymar. There is Neymar himself, and the other person is me. And at no time did we talk to FC Barcelona," he said.

"Has anyone ever heard these words come out of our mouths regarding the intention of a return to Barcelona? No. Of course Barcelona is a great team, we all were happy there, but it's obvious when we talk about rumours of transfers, the name of Neymar is obligatorily quoted.

"You cannot leave such a player out of these rumours. But obviously these are just lies. There was no call with Barcelona. This is false of course. But these rumours are a lot of fun. They are funny these journalists."
