Manchester United transfer news: Neymar hints at Barcelona contract extension

Perfect: Neymar believes Barcelona is the ideal club for him to ply his trade at
Sam Long1 December 2015

Barcelona forward Neymar has hinted that he will sign a contract extension at the Camp Nou after describing the club as his 'second home'.

The 23-year-old joined the Spanish giants from Santos in the summer of 2013 and has established himself as one of the world's best players during his successful spell at the Catalan club.

Neymar has been included on the shortlist for this year's Ballon d'Or award - alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - and his stellar performances have attracted interest from other clubs.

The Brazil captain was the subject of interest from Manchester United during the summer but Old Trafford chiefs failed to make a 'concrete offer' for the forward.

Barcelona are believed to be weighing up an improved contract offer for the youngster in the wake of the Red Devils' interest and Neymar has revealed that he is 'happy' at Luis Enrique's side.

"I don't know about my renewal, It's all up to my father," the forward told BeIn Sport.

“I cannot see me far away from Barça, it's the perfect team for me. It's my second home, and I'm happy. I'm living a dream."

Neymar is currently La Liga's top scorer, having scored 14 goals in just 12 appearances this season.
