Neymar renewal shows Barcelona team spirit, says Luis Enrique

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has heralded Neymar's decision to sign a new contract as proof of the team spirit at Camp Nou.

The Brazil international put pen to paper on a new five-year deal on Friday after months of speculation linking him with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and even Real Madrid.

One of Neymar's representatives, Wagner Ribeiro, claimed PSG put forward a proposal that included a 40 million euro tax-free salary, a private jet and a stake in a hotel business - an offer he claimed blew Barca's package out of the water.

Neymar, however, has always maintained he was eager to stay at Camp Nou, and Luis Enrique believes the camaraderie among his players helped convince the former Santos man to stay.
