Valverde fed up of Neymar talk and expects Rakitic to stay at Barcelona

Ernesto Valverde has grown sick and tired of discussing Neymar's possible return to Barcelona and is looking forward to Monday's transfer deadline.

Despite months of speculation and reports of various rounds of negotiations between Barca and Paris Saint-Germain, it appears Brazil star Neymar is no nearer a move back to LaLiga.

The latest claims from Spain say Barca have effectively given up hope of re-signing Neymar in this transfer window as PSG are unwilling to lower their demands for a significant cash return on a player they signed for €222 million (£198m/$259m) only two years ago.
