Neymar's contract negotiations start in January

Neymar wants to stay at FC Barcelona.  His father will do everything possible to suit his son's desires. The harmony between them is incalculable and his father says Neymar will have the final word.  In January, after the Christmas parties have finished, negotiations for a new deal will begin. Neymar will sign his second contract with the club.

In recent weeks there have been various informal negotiations between Neymar Sr and the club, including in Japan at the Club World Cup. Communication is fluid and regular. Since 2011,  when contact was first made, the relationship has always been good. There is no great rush to sort out a deal on either side,  but the plan is to have him sign well before he heads off in the summer with Brazil to take part in the Copa America and the Olympics.
