Barcelona star Javier Mascherano has advised team-mate Neymar to stay with the Catalans in order to unlock his full potential, while Athletic Bilbao's Aymeric Laporte claims he never said he would turn down a move to Catalonia.
Rumours linking Neymar with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain continue to swirl, per Ed Malyon and Richard Innes of the Daily Mirror, with all three clubs expected to make a real push for the Brazilian's services during the summer transfer window.
But, as reported by Javier Miguel of Sport, Mascherano believes Neymar would be best served staying with the Blaugrana:
I'm not one to talk about personal subjects, but the truth is I see him happy and comfortable in Barcelona.
