Carles Puyol: 'Neymar could join Madrid'

Carles Puyol admits that "it is not that far-fetched" to hear of Real Madrid's rumoured interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar, despite his Barcelona past.

Barcelona legend Carles Puyol has insisted that he "does not see any problem" with Neymar potentially joining Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Speculation linking the Paris Saint-Germain ace with a move back to Spain in the summer has gathered pace, despite only joining from Barca in a £198m deal seven months ago.

Puyol has accepted that the move to the Bernabeu could well happen, and is not bothered about seeing one of his former side's key men from last season join a domestic rival.

"I think he could join Madrid, yes," he told Estadao. "I don't see any problem with it. He's a professional and it's not that far-fetched, but I think it'll be difficult for him to leave PSG because they spent a lot of money on signing him."

Neymar is currently nursing a foot injury that is expected to keep him out for at least another six weeks.
