Barcelona forward Neymar says he is "optimistic" about agreeing a new contract at Camp Nou - but refused to guarantee his long-term future at the club.
Talks over an improved deal with Barca have been rumbling on for a number of weeks despite the Brazil international having three years left to run on his current agreement.
Neymar's father and agent insisted earlier this month that they would agree an extension with the European champions but speculation persists that he could be tempted to move elsewhere, with bitter rivals Real Madrid and Manchester City, tipped to appoint Pep Guardiola as head coach ahead of next season, linked with potential bids.
"We're talking about it [my renewal]. I'm optimistic. But I don't know what will happen," he said.
When asked if he would follow Guardiola to City, he replied, laughing: "No, not that," before adding of his long-term future: "I don't know. Life is long."
"I didn't hear it. Pele can say what he likes, I talk about my work," he said.
"He's great, he's a legend. The best Brazilian who's played for Barcelona," Neymar added.
