And ahead of the coming season, Neymar will reportedly sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain after helping them reach their second straight Champions League semifinals.

The former Santos star who has been linked to rejoin Lionel Messi at Barcelona has just one year left on his £600,000-a-week contract.
But after knocking out the current defending champions, Neymar said that signing a new deal will no longer be an issue.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Real Madrid have renewed their interest in Manchester City star Raheem Sterling as the Englishman is no longer a regular in Pep Guardiola's squad.
The England international was benched in City's Champions League double win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter finals.
The 26-year-old was given the nod by the Spanish gaffer in the Citizens loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals.
Sterling's lack of game time has alerted Los Blancos who have been huge admirers of the winger and there are reported that the player’s delayed contract talks could also play a major role in his departure from the Etihad.
