Barcelona forward, Neymar, has said he expects his team-mate, Lionel Messi, to sign a new deal imminently.
Messi is expected to be offered a new contract by Barca, which will make him the best paid footballer in the world, with his current deal set to expire in June 2018.
Neymar hopes the 29-year-old stays at Camp Nou and a deal will be finalized soon.
“We hope that Messi will stay in Barcelona with us,” he told reporters in Sao Paulo on Thursday.
“I expect that he will sign a new deal soon.”
Barcelona are second in La Liga, three points behind rivals Real Madrid who have a game in hand.
