Lionel Messi has spoken about the incessant transfer rumours linking Neymar with a sensational move to Real Madrid.

Neymar and Messi, alongside Luis Suarez, forged a lethal concoction of attacking prowess, terrifying defences in Spain and across Europe.

However, the Brazilian international called time on his Camp Nou career by completing a world record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

But with the 2017/18 season drawing to a close, and the summer transfer market set to reopen, Neymar continues to dominate the transfer rumour mills.

He's being heavily linked with a return to La Liga but with Real Madrid.

And the thought of Neymar donning the iconic all-white strip would be 'terrible' according to his former teammate, Messi.

"Seeing Neymar at Real Madrid would be terrible," he said in an interview with TyC via Mirror.

"It would be a terrible blow for Barcelona."

Real Madrid club president Florentino Perez is hellbent on recruiting new talent including a 'Galactico'.

The likes of Harry Kane, Eden Hazard, among many others, have been muted with Perez also eyeing up Neymar.

Meanwhile, after collecting the award for the best player in France (despite only playing 20 league games), Neymar spoke to the press, and naturally talks about his future was immediately raised.

"All transfer windows, we talk about these things," he told L'Equipe.

"I'm not in a moment to talk about anything. Everyone knows what I came here to do, the goals I have.

"Now, my goals is to do the World Cup, not to talk about transfer or not, I spend my whole life, every transfer window, we talk about it, it's a bit annoying."
