Barcelona superstar Neymar could be forced to leave Barcelona due to his ongoing tax issues in Spain, according to the player's father.
The Brazilian forward who was approached by Manchester United in the summer is in negotiation of contract extension with the current deal running until 2018.
The Catalans are keen to renew the 23-year-old's contract which would increase his £140m release clause however Neymar Sr has raise doubts over the player's future in Barcelona.
"We've begun contract renewal talks, but there are outstanding issues that concern us, and which need to be resolved," Neymar Sr told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
"Since we arrived to Spain we have been under attack and it has extended to Brazil. For the last two-and-a-half years, we have had to defend ourselves from accusations.
"We will respect Neymar's contract with Barca but regarding the contract extension, we need a deal that gives us peace of mind for Neymar, my companies and my family.
"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."
