Since his arrival in Paris, Neymar hasn't had any time to relax. First he was accused of causing problems in the dressing room, then he was linked with wanting a move to Real Madrid. Unai Emery believes Neymar's future is at PSG, however.

Hours after reconquering Ligue 1, Unai Emery analysed PSG's current situation and, unsurprisingly, Neymar was one of the topics of discussion. 

In an interview with 'COPE', the Spanish coach made it clear that he believed the Brazilian would be staying in Paris. "I don't imagine a PSG without Neymar," he stated.

"I see him being here next year. He wants to be centre-stage, and PSG can give him that."

With regards to his own relationship with the forward, Emery didn't give too much away, saying that they hadn't spoken recently. "Has he congratulated me on the title?" he said. "I spoke to him two or three weeks ago."

He was more vocal when asked about his future at the club, although he didn't seem overly confident over his role going forward. "I see myself neither inside or outside the PSG project," he stated. "We haven't sat down yet to talk about preparations for next season. I believe in this project...with or without me."

For Emery, it's all about patience, given PSG's relative lack of heritage in Europe. "Winning the Champions League is football heaven," he claimed. "PSG have this desire, but before this you have to create history and dominance in France. It's all a long process."
