"I'll stay. I have a contract with PSG and I've chosen to be there for the challenge, for new things and higher goals," Neymar told Fox Sports.
"I won't change my mind about it. I hope we can have a successful season, with new silverware, too.
"The press enjoys creating rumours, but everyone knows how much I care about PSG."
