BARCELONA: Spanish giants Barcelona insiders are adamant Santos superstar Neymar (pic) will be theirs.

El Mundo Deportivo reported the fresh interest of Paris St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester United, coupled with confusing comments from Neymar, has raised concerns inside Barca.

But those from Barca close to negotiations insist their deal for the attacker is watertight.

Barca have already coughed up €10 million to Santos as a downpayment, while a penalty clause of a massive €80 million, has been struck between the two clubs should Neymar be sold to another club.

The agreement will stand until the summer of 2014 - with Neymar expected to move to Europe well before then.

Santos are ready to sell Neymar and it could happen as early as January.

El Confidencial reported Santos are already laying the groundwork by sounding out potential replacements for Neymar, including AC Milan attacker Robinho.

Santos officials were in Europe recently and have sounded out Robinho's family about a return home.

The player is understood to love the idea - particularly with the 2014 World Cup on the horizon.

Santos insiders, meanwhile, insisted  Barca do not have a pre-contract for Neymar's transfer.
