Neymar switch to Real Madrid refused to be ruled out by PSG boss Unai Emery

UNAI EMERY has opened up on Neymar's rumoured exit from Paris Saint-Germain hinting a deal with Real Madrid isn't out of the question.

Los Blancos are thought to have launched 'Operation Neymar' and are desperate to snap up the former Barcelona hitman before the World Cup. 

Rather than rule out the possibility of making a deal with the La Liga outfit, Emery swerved questions on the subject and suggested they should be directed elsewhere.

The Spanish tactician said: "The PSG project is very strong with Neymar in it.

"As for Real Madrid? I don't know, ask Florentino."

Madrid are on the look out for reinforcements in attacking areas due to Cristiano Ronaldo's age, Gareth Bale's fitness problems and Karim Benzema's struggles to find top form.

The Spanish outlet have been building a strong case for the Brazilian star to make a switch in summer - topping the world record £198million paid by PSG last year.

International team-mate Casemiro urged Neymar to join him at the Bernabeu as well as Marcelo.

It's also understood that the 26-year-old's father has met with Real officials for a meeting in Paris.

Neymar joined the Ligue 1 table-toppers last summer but is thought to be unhappy with life in the French capital.

It has been reported the forward said "five months have been like five years" regarding his time in France that has been fraught with controversy.

He has been embroiled in confrontations with team-mates such as Edison Cavani and has been said to be personally disappointed with the inferior quality of French football.

Despite his failure to settling into life in France, it seems it doesn't matter where he is when it come to his performance on the pitch.

He scored 29 goals and created 17 more in 30 matches before cracking his fifth metatarsal on his right foot.
