Neymar has been impressive for PSG since joining from Barcelona last summer
The £198m man has scored seven goals in his last four games for the Ligue 1 outfit
And the forward has been in red hot form so far this season, with 13 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions.
Rumours have surfaced in recent weeks that the 26-year-old is set to return to the Spanish capital, but Bartomeu has quashed that speculation.
Speaking to Catalunya Radio he said: “Neymar will not return to Barcelona. He won’t come back, nor are there plans to bring him back.
“There’s been no call and no meeting. There’s been no contact. We don’t like it that players pay their clauses and leave.”
Neymar has been linked with a return to his old stomping ground, the Nou Camp
However, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has ended that speculation – insisting the club have no interest in resigning Neymar
Bartomeu went on to later confirm that the Catalan giants will not be active at all in the January transfer market.
He added: “There are no plans to sign anyone in January when the window opens.
“We have a small squad because we have B team players that can cover.”
