“We don’t have to talk about it because Neymar is under contract and the club know everything.
“The speculation is huge and it’s clear that Neymar is always involved in it. The fans know that several clubs are interested in their player, but that doesn’t mean we’re talking to anyone or trying something.
“The fans have already spoken more than 10,000 times about my son, plus Neymar is under contract with Barcelona and has two more years [on his contract]. That’s certain.
“He must fulfil his contract with Barcelona. Neymar is very happy [there], but the speculation will continue for a long time and the fans have become used to it.

“The possibility [of Neymar joining Madrid] is zero. I respect [Wagner] a lot, but besides myself, the only person who can talk about Neymar’s career is the player.
“We also know that Wagner works with other big players such as Lucas Lima, among others.”
While, Zinedine Zidane has promised Real Madrid fans that club will be active to sign new players, but they will start their transfer business in few weeks.
“Right now there are none [referring to new signings]. In a few weeks you’ll know,” he said at a children’s event while on holiday in Italy, AS notes.
“Italy’s defeat to Ireland [at Euro 2016] was almost normal. It was like a drop in voltage after two consecutive victories.
“Now they must measure themselves against Spain [in the last 16 on Monday]. That’s an important commitment.
“For me, it’s like a final. The Spanish are one step ahead of the Italians.”
