Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said that the Catalan outfit want Neymar to 'retire at the club' amid talk of a big-money offer from Manchester United.
It has been reported that United are prepared to trigger the Brazilian's buy-out clause with an offer in the region of £140m.
However, Bartomeu has insisted that talks will soon begin over a contract extension for the 23-year-old, who scored 39 goals last season.
"Within a few months we will begin to discuss Neymar's renewal," Mundo Deportivo quotes Bartomeu as saying.
"We want him to stay at Barca for many more years. We don't want him to leave. He's young and we want him to retire at Barca."
Neymar, who is said to be keen to sample Premier League football at some point in the future, joined Barcelona from Santos in the summer of 2013.
