Messi is contracted until 2018, but speculation over his future has intensified with talks over a new deal seemingly progressing slowly.

Speaking after Barca completed their remarkable Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar said Messi would extend his stay.

Move over Messi- this was Neymar’s night

“Leo will renew,” the Brazil international told beIN Sports.

“That is for sure.”

Neymar was the hero for Barca as they claimed a 6-1 win over PSG to record a 6-5 aggregate victory in the last 16.

He scored a late brace and set up Sergi Roberto’s decisive 95th-minute goal, while he also won a penalty converted by Messi in the first half.
