INIESTA BEGS BARCA TO KEEP NEYMAR

NEYM GAME: Iniesta BARCELONA captain Andres Iniesta said he would rather have Neymar at the Nou Camp than a £197million transfer fee.

Fevered speculation has been linking the Brazilian playmaker, 25 (below) with Paris St-Germain in a mind-boggling deal.

PSG have reportedly held discussions with Barcelona about a transfer for the superstar that would smash the world record £89m Manchester United paid Juventus for France midfielder Paul Pogba last year.

Iniesta, 33, said: “I do not think 200- 300million   will be more beneficial for Barcelona than having Neymar.

“He is one of the best players in the world and I always want the best players in my team.

“I have no doubt that we all wish him to continue with us.

“We would like the press to not keep asking about Neymar so much but to end this there is only one way: Neymar will speak.”

Neymar, whose buyout clause at Barcelona was set at over 200m, has  cancelled a personal appearance in China next week because he was said to be “busy with transfer business”.

Iniesta also confirmed that Neymar and new team-mate Nelson Semedo had a training ground bust-up on Friday but played it down.

The Spain midfielder said it was being blown out of all proportion due to the recent transfer talk.

“It’s true that there was that incident, which can be part of a training session,” said Iniesta. “But because of the current situation and what is being said about Ney, which is global, it has much more significance. “For those of us who are training however, it’s really nothing.”
