In an interview for 'Le Parisien', PSG sporting director Antero Henrique spoke about star forward Neymar and a reported move to Real Madrid.

Neymar's exit is out of the question. That is what Antero Henrique made clear after weeks of ongoing talks placing him at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

The Brazilian signed for Paris Saint-Germain last August and has been in fine form. However, rumours surfaced which suggested the player was no longer happy at the French capital, something the PSG director denied.

When asked if Neymar could join 'Los Blancos', Henrique said: "No. He is happy, he loves the club and he is performing well here. It's not a matter of money, but one of balance."

"Neymar agreed with our vision, he is very ambitious and PSG offered him space for his hunger," he added, making it clear everyone in Paris is hoping for a long stay from the Brazil star.

"He has only confirmed he is an exceptional player. He plays for the team, not for himself, and he links up with his teammates. One of the best players in the world is of course a special kid," Henrique concluded.
