With just two and a half years to go on his contract, Neymar does not have much time left at the Catalan club. This seems to have gotten the vultures roaming above his head.
Asked about his future at the Catalan club, Neymar did not wish to reveal much and only responded by saying, “I don’t know, life is long.”
However the club authorities seem to be confident that an extension would soon be arranged, as they believe that the player himself is keen on staying at FC Barcelona.
