The gifted attacker has long been linked with a move to the Catalan giants, with his friendship with fellow Brazilian Dani Alves reportedly a key bargaining tool in the Blaugrana's attempts to lure him to the Camp Nou.
Neymar has, however, stated that he is as of yet undecided and could still decide to remain in Brazil beyond 2014.
"Dani's always embarrassing me! He's put me in a tight spot," the 20-year-old was quoted as saying on FIFA's official website.
"Even I don't know whether I'll still be at Santos after the World Cup. My contract runs to 2014 but there is still a long way to go before the World Cup. I don't know if I will renew it or not.
"It's a personal issue and I'll have to talk it through with my family and Santos. We'll definitely speak about it further down the line."
The Brazil international also spoke about his nation's opportunity at their home World Cup, and said that he believed the team still needed time to get back to their best.
"If you look at the ranking, Brazil aren't in the top five at the moment," added Neymar.
"But we're working hard on the team's identity and at becoming more of a unit.
"We haven't been playing together for that long. The team's been through a lot of changes and it needs time to forge that identity and reach the top again."
