Paris Saint-Germain president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has played down the talk that his club are getting ever closer to the mega money signing of Barcelona star Neymar.
It would be a deal that would smash the current world transfer record as Barcelona would take in over 200 million euros, if the transfer were to go through.
Al-Khelaifi discussed the potential deal with Moroccan television station Medi 1 TV and was cagey when asked directly whether a move was close.
"All of this is talk. Neymar is a Barcelona player and we will see what happens with him. PSG respect all contracts that exist between other teams and their players. I hope to speak about this issue another time." said the PSG boss as quoted in MARCA
However, he did suggest that the arrival of Neymar would be in line with the kind of thing that the club are trying to achieve.
"PSG's ambition is to have great players who are recognised around the world. That helps to increase our reputation and the club look to have coaches and players who can help us realise or expectations." Al-Khelaifi added.
