Neymar confirms he is staying at Barça

Josep Maria Bartomeu had indicated that Neymar was due to renew his contract when he appeared before the press on Thursday morning.

On Thursday night, Neymar himself took the step of confirming that both parties have reached an agreement, with a message on his Twitter account that leaves no room for doubt.

"Very happy to continue living this dream. Long live Barça and long live Catalunya", wrote the Brazilian star, who accompanied the text with a photo of himself wearing the Barcelona shirt from last season. He couldn't have made things any clearer.

The negotiations of the past weeks have ended in success, and just as Bartomeu announced, Neymar will continue at Barça for the seasons to come, extending his contract at Camp Nou until June 30, 2021.

This is the original tweet that Neymar posted:

Muito feliz de continuar vivendo esse sonho! VISCA BARÇA y VISCA CATALUNYA 🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/N8KXEgt5eA
