Barcelona forward, Neymar has put pen to paper on a new deal with Barcelona that will keep him at the club for five more years, according to a report from his homeland.

The Brazilian will stay with the club till 2021, putting rest to contract talks that have dragged on for months, ESPN Brazil reports.

The new contract is expected to put paid to interest from top European clubs who have made known their interest in the 24-year-old, especially Manchester United.

The Old Trafford team has consistently shown interest in the player, including expressing willingness to meet his massive £144 million buy-out clause.
While the terms of his new deal have not been made public, the club expressed willingness to double the player’s wages in October 2015.

That should fetch him an amount believed to be in the region of £500,000 per week, an unprecendented figure, if the new deal is anything close to the October offer.

Neymar, the third of Barcelona’s three-prong attack that also includes Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, has netted 77 goals in 125 appearances for the club.
