Barcelona star Neymar has confirmed he is aware of Manchester City's interest in signing him.
He returned from a short Christmas break with his family to Barcelona's El Prat airport on Sunday and, when asked by Spanish media including Diario AS whether he was aware of City's interest, he said: "Yes, yes."
Neymar was also asked about possibly leaving Barcelona in the future, and he added: "I don't know, life is long."
But father and manager Neymar Santos Sr said last month: "We've begun contract renewal talks, but there are outstanding issues that concern us, and which need to be resolved.
"We are not thinking of leaving Spain but we have a problem. We've never experienced such major tax issues.
"I don't want to use the word persecution, but if the working environment here is not good, we won't be able to remain in Spain and will have to leave the country."
