Barcelona defender Gerard Pique insists Brazil forward Neymar "doesn't know what to do" as speculation over his possible move from Barca to Paris Saint-Germain continues to dominate headlines.
Neymar, who was involved in a training ground bust-up with Nelson Semedo, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Nou Camp to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks and was described as "'90 per cent' likely to leave the club", a source in Spain close to the player has told Sky Sports News.
The Brazil international has scored three goals in two friendlies for Barcelona, but has so far avoided speaking to the press.
But Pique has once again pleaded with the 25-year-old to stay at the Nou Camp.
"Neymar and I we are very close and I want him to stay and I know the situation," Pique told ESPN FC.
"Right now he doesn't know what to do and we are trying to help him, the ones [on the team] that are more close to him to take the right decision."
Pique posted a photo of the pair at the weekend on social media with the caption: "He stays," but the defender has once again stated that the post wasn't official and was only his opinion, not fact.
And the Spanish defender has questioned whether Neymar wants money or titles as speculation continues to mount regarding his future.
"It was to push him to stay," Pique added. "I want him to stay. We will see what happens.
"Everything depends on what he wants, he can go to any club in the world: PSG, Barcelona, Chelsea or Manchester City. The whole world wants him, but he needs to decide what his priorities are. What does he want? More money or more titles?
"It's the same here in the US. There are players in the NBA who don't earn as much as they deserve in order to win titles. Sometimes you have to make decisions in life and it's all about priorities."
