Barça tell Neymar: Do you want to be rich or do you want to be happy?

Neymar is about to sign his new contract with Barcelona. In fact, there's already an agreement between both parties for an extension until 2022, with a substantial salary increase. But the offers which other clubs continue to make the Brazilian have created a certain amount of unease within the Catalan club, who are unable to match the figures on offer. For that reason, Barça are trying to convince Neymar with arguments based on football. 

"Neymar must choose between earning money which Barça can't ever pay him or earning a little less but being happy playing football," sources at the club have told SPORT. This is the main argument being used so that Neymar (and above all those that represent him, his father and Wagner Ribeiro) rejects the offers he is receiving from Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and even Real Madrid. 

"Neymar must decide if he wants to be part of a winning project, one which he will end up leading," Barça say, in clear reference to the fact he's seen as the generational heir to Lionel Messi as the No.1 in the world. The Blaugrana know perfectly that if Neymar opts for money, there's little they can do. "If he values the [better] financial offers, there's a danger that he will leave." But Barça have faith that their arguments will convince him to stay.
