Barcelona target Neymar insists he's happy at Santos

Neymar insists he's happy at Santos and there is no pre-contract with Barcelona.

Neymar says he is content at the Brazilian side but maintains he will not rule out a move when he feels the time is right.

He told Placar: "I've said before, if I feel this is the right moment to leave, then why not? They say that I'll leave Santos, that I won't, but I have to stay calm.

"People make many false stories but I'm happy at Santos, trying to help my team the best way I can. I hope to win games again.

"(Comments that I'll leave now) are made by people that don't know about my life. If I feel it's time to leave, I'll leave. But this is something I'll decide, not somebody else. I'm doing well and happy at Santos."

He added of the Barcelona speculation: "There is no contract (with Barcelona), that's not true.

"Daniel Alves is a big friend but if I say (Lionel) Messi will join Santos, will you believe it? I thank Daniel Alves for what he said but I'm happy here."
