Selling Neymar has never occurred to Barcelona, says vice-president
The Brazil attacker is yet to sign a new contract with the club, prompting speculation around his future, but the director maintains there is no chance of him leaving this year
Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre has reiterated that the club has no intention of parting company with Brazil superstar Neymar.
The forward is without a goal in his past five club matches, during which time Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga has collapsed due to three consecutive defeats.
Atletico Madrid have also dumped the soon-to-be deposed European champions out of the Champions League and Neymar's form has come in for criticism.
The 24-year-old was involved in an altercation with Valencia defender Antonio Barragan after Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Camp Nou and he is currently embroiled in a club versus country row due to Brazil's desire for him to play in both the forthcoming Copa America Centenario and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Neymar is also yet to pen a new contract with Barca following months of speculation but Mestre is relaxed over the situation.
On whether Neymar could leave Camp Nou, he told Barca TV: "Absolutely not. I've said it many times, but it's something which keeps coming up.
"I have said it actively and passively. We are delighted with Neymar and he is not for sale – it's not even crossed our minds.

Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open for this position the
