Barcelona director Jordi Mestre has  insisted the club will not sell

Barca have taken just one point from a possible 12 and were
knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid last week, but Mestre said the club are happy with Neymar.
Mestre told Barca TV: “That is something that keeps coming up,
but I have said it many times – we are delighted with Neymar.
“Neymar will not be sold. We have not even thought about doing
it.”
Neymar has 81 goals in 135 appearances since arriving in La Liga,
and has formed a formidable link with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
“When he signed for us, he made a financial effort as other clubs
were going to give him more money. He came here to play because he
wanted to play good football, alongside [Lionel] Messi, to win trophies.”
