Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta says he won't openly discuss plans to re-sign Neymar from PSG.

Neymar has emerged as a major factor for next month's Barcelona election.

Asked about the Brazil international, Laporta said: "I will not talk about this or that player during the campaign, because it can destabilise the team.

"They are attentive to all the stories that come out.

"I don't want someone from inside (Barça) to tell me that I have destabilised the club, if I win."
