By Pete Jenson Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has branded the club’s record signing Neymar ‘a problem’ the day after president Josep Maria Bartomeu pledged to improve Lionel Messi’s contract and make him the world’s top earner. 'The problem that Barca have now is Neymar,' said the former Holland star. 'He is a great player, that is not in question but you cannot sign a 21-year-old and pay him more than players who have won everything there is to win. No-one is God when they are just 21 years old.' The comments will further embarrass Barcelona who have long maintained that Neymar’s salary is below that of other established stars.
