A report claims that any side interested in signing Neymar from Barcelona will have to pay close to £200m to invoke his release clause.

Barcelona forward Neymar has seen his release clause increase to £195m as part of the deal signed last summer, according to a report.

The Brazil international put pen to paper on a new long-term contract in 2016, keeping him in place at Camp Nou for the next five years and putting a temporary end to speculation over his future.

It is claimed by The Mirror that should any team wish to lure him away from Barcelona they will now have to pay close to £200m, with his buyout clause increasing by around £20m on an annual basis.

Neymar netted 20 times in 46 appearances for Barcelona last season, including a goal and an assist in the Copa del Rey final win over Alaves.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City had previously been linked with the 25-year-old.
