Neymar’s new Barcelona contract will include a huge buyout clause totalling £174million in an attempt to fend off potential suitors, according to reports in Spain.
The Catalan club are desperate to keep hold of the Brazil captain and will reportedly take extreme measures to ensure he stays at the Nou Camp beyond this summer.
Neymar previously signed a five-year deal with Barcelona when he arrived from Santos in June 2013, and talks are ongoing regarding a new deal through until 2021.
The front page of Spain’s Mundo Deportivo newspaper on Tuesday leads with Barcelona’s ‘top secret’ offer to Neymar, which includes an ‘escape clause’ of €220m (£174m) – second only to Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp. Neymar’s clause now is €190m (£153m).
There is optimism on all fronts that the 24-year-old will sign the improved deal, with confirmation expected before the start of next season.
There have been recent reports of interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain but Barcelona are keen to keep their star attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez together.
Mundo Deportivo also report that Neymar’s buyout clause will stay below Messi’s no matter what in order to keep the Argentine as the club’s most important player.
