Paris Saint Germain (PSG) director of sports, Antero Henrique has condemned perceived attempts by Real Madrid to unsettle the club's big-money transfer, Neymar by publicly announcing that they would love to sign the Brazilian from PSG. Los Blancos president Florentino Perez had spoken very highly of Neymar and Mbappe in recent times, stressing that the club would make a move to secure Neymar.
According to reports, the Spanish side see the former Barcelona man as a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who turns 33 in February.
Speaking with Mirror, Henrique said if Real Madrid's plan was to unsettle Neymar, the move has failed as the news has rather unsettled Ronaldo instead.
"If Neymar could leave PSG to go to Madrid? No. Because he is happy, he loves the club and is fulfilling here. It’s not a question of money; it’s a question of balance. Neymar accepted our vision, he has a lot of ambition and PSG offered him space for his ambition.
“To speak about a player from another club on the day in which [Cristiano] Ronaldo wins the Ballon d’Or is not good for the player."
Real Madrid interest in Neymar followed claims that the Brazilian was unsettled in PSG and was regretting his world record transfer out of Barcelona. He had since debunked the claim insisting that he is happy in France.
