Neymar's father reiterated on Sunday that there has been no attempt to contact Barcelona over a possible return to Spain for the world's most expensive player.
Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain for a world record fee of 222 million euros in August 2017 but has repeatedly been linked with a move back to Barcelona.
"Barca are a huge club, we were very happy over there," Neymar Sr told TF1 on Sunday.
"It's impossible to leave a player like him out of these (transfer market) rumours. But it's a lie, there hasn't been a call with Barca."
"These rumours amuse us a lot. These journalists are funny. The future is in Paris, the present is in Paris."
