Barcelona send letter to Brazil asking for Neymar to avoid Copa America call-up

Barcelona will prevent Neymar from playing at the Copa America, but will allow him to compete at the Olympic Games, according to Globoesporte.

Technically they are not allowed to stop Brazil from calling him up for the Copa but can stop him from featuring for his country at the Olympics, but the Catalan side will send a letter to the CBF president Antonio Carlos Nunes, to explain the reasons they don't want him to feature at the tournament in the USA. 

The intention of Brazil coach Dunga is to call him up for both tournaments and they want Neymar to pressure Barcelona to accept that. However, the club want to avoid his fitness suffering by playing too much and having no holiday.
