Barca bids to nullify Neymar speculation

BARCELONA - Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre said on Tuesday that Brazilian star Neymar will be staying in Spain despite rumors linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Asked during a media conference if he could confirm Neymar would remain at Barca ahead of the new season, Mestre replied: "200 percent".

Reports in Spain have suggested PSG is looking to lure the 25-year-old to Parc des Princes after snapping up Neymar's international teammate Dani Alves on a free transfer.
