NEYMAR will snub a mega-money move to Real Madrid in favour of staying at PSG, according to his father.
The Brazilian superstar is a target for the Spanish giants despite only moving to the Ligue 1 leaders in a £198m move from Barcelona last summer.
And now his dad, Neymar Sr, has come out and dismissed the rumours and says his son, 26, will stay at the Parc des Princes.
Speaking at the Neymar Junior charity centre in Praia Grande, Sao Paulo, his father said: "Neymar already has a future at PSG.
"Neymar already has a present at PSG."
