Gerard Pique concedes he does not know for sure whether Neymar will stay at Barcelona amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar has been the subject of speculation this summer, with reports that PSG had agreed to activate his release clause of almost £200 million (Dh958.9m). Barca defender Pique on Sunday posted a message on social media which appeared to suggest the Brazil forward had committed his future to the Nou Camp. Pique posted a picture of himself with Neymar, along with the simple message "se queda", which translates as "he stays". It is a move that could potentially <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/sport/comment/barcelona-s-neymar-could-redraw-map-of-european-football-with-move-to-psg-1.614028">alter the landscape of European football</a>, according to football writer Richard Jolly. However, speaking at a news conference on Tuesday night, Pique acknowledged his opinion was not definitive. "My Instagram post was a gut thing. I want Neymar to stay. It's my intuition," Pique, 30, said. "It was nothing official, it doesn't depend on me. Only Neymar can say what will happen, but I hope he stays. "I try to explain to Neymar, as a team-mate and a friend, the situation he's in. I would say don't go to a league which, with all due respect, is not as good." Barcelona are in the United States on a pre-season tour and Neymar is expected to face Manchester United in the early hours of Thursday morning. <strong>Also read:</strong> <strong>Richard Jolly:</strong> Pogba's return statement of United's enduring prowess <strong>Ian Hawkey:</strong> Monaco show PSG value of investing in French talent <strong>John McAuley:</strong> Ronaldinho says Neymar 'at same level' as Messi
