PSG defender Marquinhos took the opportunity to address the rumours surrounding team-mate Neymar's future following the dominant win over Amiens on Saturday, with the centre-back convinced the Samba star is going nowhere.

The Parisians thumped lowly Amiens 5-0 to stretch their winning start to the season to ten games, though attention soon switched back to Neymar after the full-time whistle.

Reports emerged this week that the Brazilian was eyeing a move back to LaLiga with former side Barcelona, but his club and international team-mate was in no mood to entertain such rumours.

"I wish Real Madrid and Barcelona good luck in trying to lure him away from here," he said.

"I think both are going to have a big concern afterwards. People know what Nasser [Al-Khelaifi - PSG President] is like with his people and how much he loves his stars. So I don't see any reason why he should leave.

"Neymar is good here, he's happy and people can see that on the pitch. He even denied it on social media. I can't speak for him, ask him yourselves."

Neymar was rested for the game against Amiens, with PSG set to face Napoli in the Champions League in midweek and Marseille in 'Le Classique' on Sunday.
