Neymar’s transfer saga keeps rolling and now Real Madrid’s Brazilian defensive midfielder Casemiro has added to the spice by cheekily stating that Neymar would be welcome at Real Madrid.

PSG are reportedly willing to pay Neymar's 222 million Euros buyout clause and amidst the tension at Barcelona, Casemiro hints that Real Madrid could also be an option if the forward is seeking a move away from the Camp Nou.

Casemiro told Globesporte: "Why couldn't he play here at Real Madrid?"

"Neymar will tell you his future. He knows what he has to do. I have not talked to Neymar lately, but I wish him well," he added.

"Neymar is a great player, I have great admiration for him. He knows what he does, he is well advised, his father is a great person and he knows what he is doing.

"If he leaves Barcelona I wish him all the luck in the world, and if he stays, then I do too.

"Neymar is very important for the selection of Brazil, we always have his good football."
