The right-back, 32, and the Catalans are engaged in what Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has called “a game” as the player awaits a proposal he likes from his current club.
Neymar, who has been team-mates at Camp Nou with Alves for two years and also played alongside the defender with Brazil, has given his backing to the player described by Lionel Messi as the best full-back on the planet.
"I hope that Dani Alves stays," the 23-year-old told Sky Sport. "If I was the president I would have renewed his contract already."
Ahead of Saturday's season climax in the Champions League final, Neymar has acknowledged the threat Juventus will pose
"We know Juventus, we know they are a top team and they have not qualified for the final by chance," he continued. "It will be a difficult game and we will try to give the best version of ourselves.
"I think this will be the most difficult game of the whole season, but we want to make history and we are close to doing so.
"Head coach Luis Enrique has dedicated several days to studying our opponent and we are preparing for it in the best way possible.”
He added: "If we win the Champions League, I will die my hair blonde!"
Neymar has scored 38 goals in 50 games for Luis Enrique's side this season, contributing to a new Spanish league record with his team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, leading to suggestions they are the best attacking trio of all-time.
"I don't know if with Messi and Luis Suarez we are the best trident, but we have entered into the history books and for me it is a great honour to be part of it," he said.
