Neymar can't seem to get a break from rumors linking him to other teams, and the rumor mill keeps on going when the source is none other than his father.
Reports from England and Spain revealed that Neymar Sr, who also acts as his agent, told the judge that his son was offered a lucrative contract to leave Barcelona in the near future. When the pair left the court house, Neymar's father told a couple of reporters the bid was not made by Real Madrid, leaving all sorts of doubts, according to Marca.
The Sun backed a story they printed in August which linked the Brazilian superstar to Old Trafford. Although the deal was not completed, those rumors were confirmed by the player's father tongue slip.

Despite the interest of a number of Premier League teams, it seems like Neymar will remain loyal to Barcelona, as the Brazilian has finally established himself as a key performer for Los Blaugranas. The Brazilian superstar has scored 19 goals for Luis Enrique's team in all competitions, and ever since Messi's injury back in September, he has transformed into the team's go-to guy alongside Luis Suárez.
The South American player, who's contract with Barcelona ends in the summer of 2018, has not agreed a contract extension with Los Blaugranas, even after president Josep María Bartomeu offered him a more than satisfying deal. With that in mind, clubs from around the world still hope to lure him away from Catalunya, despite the player's claims of loyalty.
