The Brazil international, who joined the club in 2017, has been repeatedly linked with a return to Barcelona, but he has claimed that his desire is to remain at PSG. The club reached the final of the UEFA Champions League last season and face Barca when the competition resumes with the round of 16 in February.

Neymar has expressed a desire to extend his stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Brazilian’s future at the club has been a hot topic of debate ever since he made the shock move to the French capital in 2017.
A return to Barcelona has been regularly talked about, and he has said on occasions that he would be open to heading back to the Camp Nou.
However, there has been a shift in thinking around the Brazilian and he has expressed a desire to remain at PSG - and hopes French superstar Kylian Mbappe also commits his future to the club.
"I'm very happy here and I want to stay at PSG and I hope Mbappe wants to stay too," he said in an interview with TF1.

"Of course, that's the wish of all fans, we want PSG to be a great team and I want to keep doing what I do here, play football and be happy.
Today I'm very happy, I feel happy. A lot has changed, I can't exactly say why, if it's me or something else.
Neymar scored twice for PSG on Sunday, but those goals were not enough to prevent the Ligue 1 champions from slipping to a 3-2 defeat to Lorient.
