Ex-Barcelona captain Iniesta: I'll understand if Neymar joins Real Madrid

Former Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta insists he would have no problem if ex-teammate Neymar joined Real Madrid.

The PSG attacker remains high on the agenda of Real president Florentino Perez.

"It would not hurt me to see Neymar at Real Madrid. If it should happen, it will happen. Madrid would strengthen with one player. What's wrong with Barça? They have unique players and a team capable of winning all the titles," Iniesta, now of Vissel Kobe, told El Larguero.

"To say that Neymar should not return to FC Barcelona is a bit categorical. Obviously, Neymar continues to be one of the best and in a team, he makes the difference, but it will not be easy to come back."
