But the PSG boss was clear. There was no doubt. After being asked what he thought of the reports linking his star player with a move to Real Madrid, Emery gave an unequivocal response.
"We are very happy with Neymar. He's going to succeed hear and Neymar is going to stay here," Emery said, without hesitation.
He also made it clear that he doubted the accuracy of the rumours. "I don't know what they said or where they got the information from," the Spanish coach added.
