Leonardo: There are negotiations for Neymar but nothing has advanced Barcelona Blaugrana trying to resign the forward

The soap opera surrounding Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain future is continuing, but things have hit something of a standstill according to Leonardo.

It's widely expected that the Brazilian will leave the Parc des Princes this summer to join either Barcelona or Real Madrid, though all may not be moving along as it seemed to be.

"There are negotiations with clubs, as everyone knows," Leonardo told RMC Sport.

"But nothing has advanced."

The PSG fans made their feelings towards Neymar clear beyond doubt in their Ligue 1 opener, in which he didn't play as the club sought to protect him, but the sporting director believes that he means well even if his actions don't always suggest as much.

"He's made mistakes," Leonardo acknowledged.

"I didn't know him, but I'm getting to know him as the days go by and, honestly, I think he's a good guy.

"He has a good background and he's an amazing player on the pitch."
