​Neymar staying with Barcelona for long term

Barcelona forward Neymar is set to sign a new long-term contract, says sporting director Robert Fernandez, reports BBC Sport.

Brazil captain Neymar, 24, whose contract expires in 2018, has been linked with several moves away from the Nou Camp, including to Real Madrid.

But Fernandez said: "He will stay. He will be here for a long time. The club will make it public when the extension is to be made."
