Barcelona technical secretary Robert Fernandez ruled out selling star Neymar as he played down a move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala.
Neymar, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League giants Manchester United.
But Fernandez said there was no chance of Neymar, who is contracted until mid-2021, leaving Camp Nou.
"He is totally untransferable," he told RAC1 on Monday.
Barca were said to be considering a move for Dybala, the Juve star who helped knock the LaLiga giants out of the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, Fernandez said that was unlikely given Barca already have Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
"He is a magnificent player, but we already have the best three [forwards] in the world," he said.
