MADRID, July 24 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona defender Gerard Pique added another chapter to the on-off story over whether or not the club's Brazilian striker, Neymar will remain at the club or move to Paris Saint Germain in a record 222 million euro transfer when he posted a photo of himself and the player on the social network site 'twitter' with the message "he's staying."
Neymar only signed a contract extension until 2021 with Barca in October of last year, but the summer has seen constant rumors, which neither the Brazilian nor his entourage have denied, that he would be open to a big money move to France, which would make him both the best paid and most expensive player in the world.
He has held talks with Barca President, Josep Maria Bartomeu, with many believing he is using the uncertainty in order to push for yet another new contract with Barcelona.
Pique's message is far from official, but the central defender has at times seemed to be almost an unofficial spokesperson for the club and following his impressive display in Barca's first pre-season friendly against Juventus, Neymar again showed how important he is to the club.
