Neymar will soon sign a new long-term contract with Barcelona, according to the club's technical secretary Robert Fernandez.

Neymar has been in extension talks since the start of the season, but his father has suggested his tax issues in Spain could delay an actual deal.

"There will be an agreement with Neymar," Fernandez told TV3.

"I have no doubt about it – he will be at Barcelona for many years.

"When one starts with the intention to renew, we all know that we can reach an agreement.

"We are all in agreement that Neymar will stay here at Barcelona. The player has expressed it publicly, his camp too.

"Neymar is content and happy at Barcelona and that is the most important thing for us. 

"We must face the situation calmly, thinking that if we have now finalised Rafinha's renewal, an agreement for Neymar's renewal will also be reached."

Neymar is currently signed through 2018.
