Barcelona are "not contemplating" selling their superstar Brazil striker Neymar.
Neymar, who has been in talks over a contract extension with his current deal expiring in June 2018, has been linked in the Spanish media with a move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
"Neymar's renewal is a sporting issue," the Spanish champions' financial vice-president Susana Monje said.
"We have not studied the impact of hypothetically losing Neymar. We don't contemplate it."
El Mundo Deportivo reported on Wednesday that French champions PSG have offered to double Neymar's salary to £23m net per season.
Neymar has just completed his third year at Barca since joining from Santos. He scored 31 goals in 48 appearances last season to help the club win La Liga and the Cup del Rey.
The 24-year-old Brazil captain did not play at the Copa America in order to rest at Barcelona's request.
However, Neymar will compete at the Rio Olympics, which starts in August, as one of the three over-age players allowed in Brazil's U23 squad.
