Neymar transfer news: Neymar contract extension with PSG to be announced in few days? 

According to reports from French news outlet Telefoot, Neymar has verbally agreed to extend his stay at the Parc des Princes for four more years, until 2026. Neymar's current deal with PSG expires in the summer of 2022 but the 29-year-old was heavily linked with a return to Barcelona in the summer. However, the news of Neymar's pre-contract agreement with PSG comes only a few hours after Catalan newspaper Ara had reported that Neymar had halted negotiations and had offered himself to Barcelona. 

In the summer of 2017, Neymar signed a five-year contract with PSG when he left Barcelona in a move worth €222 million, making him the world's most expensive player. The report from Telefoot now suggests that PSG are desperate to tie Neymar down at Paris for another four seasons until he turns 34. However, PSG are unwilling to offer Neymar a pay rise in his new contract due to the pandemic, but the player is reportedly happy as his new deal won't be subjected to a cut in pay. The report suggests that Neymar is aware that no club in Europe can currently pay the kind of wages he earns at PSG.
