Robert Fernandez: 'Neymar will sign new deal'

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez 'has no doubt' that Neymar will sign a new long-term contract with the Catalan club.

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez has insisted that Neymar will pen a new long-term contract with the Catalan giants.

The 23-year-old is still on the same contract he signed upon joining the club in 2013, which runs until the summer of 2018.

Talks over a new contract are believed to be underway and Fernandez 'has no doubt' that "the second best player in the world" will commit his long-term future to the club.

"[Neymar's] the second best player in the world," he told RAC1. "He's a player of extraordinary ability, who possesses magic and special talent, scores goals and is very important for the club.

"[Cristiano Ronaldo] is also a great player, but I stand by Neymar. I have no doubt that he'll renew. The time will come in which we sit, talk and find a solution. He's happy here and performing well.

"The club will provide all that is necessary for Neymar to be calm and at ease. I'm very comfortable with the situation. We haven't spoken yet, but we don't need to because I know he'll sign."

Neymar, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, has scored 13 times in 14 games for Barcelona this season.
