Iniesta tells Barcelona fans: Don't panic if Neymar joins Real Madrid

Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta admits he wouldn't be surprised to see Neymar join Real Madrid.

There's been reports of Real officials meeting with Neymar's father earlier this month, where it was relayed they were willing to bid €400m this summer to bring the Brazil captain back to Spain.

Asked about the developments, Iniesta told Cadena SER: "I would be surprised to see him join Real? Honestly no.

"In fact, I do not care. I do not want it to be considered a lack of respect. Real would sign one of the best players in the world. But I think Barça still has a higher quality squad."
