BREAKING NEWS: Neymar ends exit talk by penning new Barca deal until 2021

Neymar has committed his future to La Liga champions Barcelona by signing a new deal until 2021.

The Brazil captain has been a huge success since moving to Camp Nou from Santos ahead of the 2013-14 season, and netted 31 goals as Barca completed a Liga and Copa del Rey double last season.

There had been increasing speculation during the close-season that the likes of Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were all willing to meet Neymar's release clause and prize away one of Barca's key assets.

Since moving to Barca, Neymar has formed a devastating triumvirate with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, with the trio dubbed 'MSN'.

However, he remains an integral part of Barca's devastating attack and news of his fresh deal is a huge boost to Luis Enrique's squad.
