Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists that re-signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar is not in the club's thinking for next season.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has poured cold water on speculation that the club are looking to re-sign Neymar this summer.

Neymar left Barca for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record £200m deal in August 2017, but he has regularly been linked with a move back to Spain at either Real Madrid or Barcelona since his arrival in France.

Barca were understood to be leading the race for the 27-year-old's signature, but Bartomeu has insisted that the Brazilian forward is not in the club's thinking ahead of next season.

"I have never spoken to them, nor have the father or player called me to return to Barca. They have not called," Bartomeu told El Partidazo de COPE.

"We are preparing for next season and the name of Neymar is not on the table.

"We are talking about a PSG player and I do not think that PSG want to get rid of a player like him."

Bartomeu also ruled out the possibility of Neymar's compatriot Philippe Coutinho leaving Camp Nou amid speculation linking him with Manchester United.
