Some good news for Barcelona fans; Neymar Jr has agreed to begin negotiations for a new deal with Barca, according to Spanish publication Cadena Cope. The newspaper reports that the Brazil international has signed a pre-agreement with his club in order to pave way for contract negotiations and renewal. Although the details of the pre-contract agreement are scanty, the paper adds that it would keep the 24-year-old at the Nou Camp until 2021.

It contains additional details regarding the expected negotiations such as wages and bonuses.
