The Barcelona centre-back does not believe that the Brazilian's Camp Nou past will get in the way of a possible transfer to Zinedine Zidane's side
Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti would not be surprised to see Neymar join Real Madrid and thinks that if both parties want the transfer to be done, it will happen.
The PSG forward only made a world-record €222 million switch to the French capital in the summer but has been continuously linked with a move to Barca's fierce La Liga rivals.
Goal understands that PSG would have been willing to discuss a potential transfer had they been crowned European champions in 2017-18 but their Champions League last-16 exit means any willingness to enter into negotiations seems highly unlikely.
Publicly the Ligue 1 club have stated that they have no plans to sell their prized asset , who has scored 28 goals in 30 games this season before he suffered a fractured metatarsal on February 25 against Marseille.
The Madrid rumours will refuse to go away as summer approaches, however, and Umtiti, who played with Neymar at Barca, believes the transfer will take place if both Madrid and his former Brazilian team-mate want it to.
