Barcelona forward, Neymar, has said it is time for the club to get to work on Lionel Messi’s contract.
Messi’s current deal expires in 2018 and the 29-year-old has been in negotiations with the La Liga outfit for a while. He reportedly turned down an offer between €30million and €35million.
“I have been here with Leo for four years, and I am learning every day: how to strike the ball, how to be alert during matches… Messi is from another planet,” Neymar told beIN Sports.
“He is an idol and a friend with whom I have the luck to train every day.
“I hope that he renews, and that the people at Barca get to work so Leo can continue with us.”
Messi scored twice in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Villarreal as Barca stayed top of La Liga, level on points with Real Madrid, who have a match in hand.
The Argentina captain has struck 51 times in all competitions this season.
