"Barcelona" defender Ivan Rakitic says he is certain that Neymar will not leave "Paris Saint-Germain".
The star of the Brazilian national team left Spain's champions for France last year in a completely unexpected move, when the strongest team in "Ligue 1" agreed to pay a record-breaking sum of 222 million euros for him.
However, despite spending only one season as a sniper in the PSG ranks, rumors began circulating in the media that he would soon move to "Real" Madrid, where he would become Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement.
"Neymar to "Real"? I hope not!", - Rakitic told "Marca". "I understand that people have to follow their desires and make their own decisions."
"I know Neymar is very happy in Paris, but I also knew he was happy in Barcelona and still left."
"If I had to choose, I would like him to stay in Paris."
In truth, no one would want to see Neymar in the ranks of their main rivals. Last season, in over 30 matches in all competitions, he scored 28 goals and made 16 assists.
