Major League Soccer: Veteran forward Neymar is close to extending his contract with Santos, the Brazilian Serie A club's president Marcelo Teixeira said.

The 33-year-old's current deal is set to expire on June 30 and local media have linked him with a possible move to Major League Soccer.

But Santos has intensified efforts to retain the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star in recent days and is confident a deal will be finalised soon.
