On Thursday, Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu confirmed talks were being held, with Neymar declaring on Twitter he was "very happy to continue living this dream".

The forward has also scored 46 goals in 70 appearances for his country.

Since moving to the Nou Camp, he has won two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies and the 2014-15 Champions League.

Barcelona were forced to pay a 拢4.3m fine in June because of mistakes in Neymar's transfer from Santos.
