Santos have scotched reports that European champions Barcelona have negotiated the first option on star striker Neymar, according to espn.co.uk.
A report in AS stated a €10 million deal was in place, which would give Barca the right to conclude a transfer for Neymar before 2014. But Santos has issued a strong rebuttal. “Reports claiming that Barca would’ve guaranteed priority in any future sale of Neymar are false,” read a statement. “He’ll stay with the club at least until the 2014 World Cup.”
