Luis Suarez has no doubt Neymar will stay at Barcelona "for many years" despite speculation over the Brazil star's future.
Protracted talks over a new contract at Camp Nou prompted rumours that Manchester United and Real Madrid could
attempt to sign the Brazilian, while ongoing legal proceedings
concerning his 2013 transfer from Santos have led to further rumours
that he will leave Catalonia.
Reports this week
have even suggested that Neymar's father would prefer to transfer his
son elsewhere, given a perceived lack of support from Barca during
contract talks and amid allegations of tax evasion and fraud.
Suarez, however, says the club are fully behind his team-mate, who turns 24 on Friday, and has few concerns over his future.
"I'm certain that Ney is going to stay," he told Movistar after Wednesday's win over Valencia. "The club supports him and I'm sure he'll be here for many years."
Suarez
bagged four goals and Lionel Messi hit a hat-trick as Barca humbled
Valencia 7-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, yet the Uruguay
international insists they will not head to Mestalla assuming the tie is
over.
"It is a rather large advantage, but you never know what might happen. That's football," he said.
Aleix
Vidal admitted he continues to be stunned by the exploits of Barca's
fearsome front three and revealed they never considered letting up
during Wednesday's thrashing.
"Messi and Luis Suarez amaze us every day," he said to Barca TV. "I've been able to enjoy them – and Neymar too – every day since the day I arrived.
"Sometimes
you feel sorry for your opponent, but we are professionals and we
wanted as many goals as possible. We always look for the best result and
we go for broke.
"It is very difficult
for Valencia to turn around the tie but we can not go into there
thinking that everything is done, it would be a mistake."
