Barca want Neymar after Olympics

Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has admitted that the club would like Neymar to move to Spain after the Olympic Games.

Neymar is currently trying to help Brazil win gold in the men's football for the first time, with Bartomeu saying that Barca would love the chance to sign the 20-year-old if he is available.

Bartomeu said: "We would all like Neymar to come after the Olympics.

"He is a Santos player at the moment but I am sure Neymar will come to Europe in the future, and when that moment arrives we will be attentive so he can sign for Barcelona."

Bartomeu discussed the Neymar issue in a meeting with Barca supporters' groups in Morocco ahead of Saturday's friendly with Raja Casablanca.
