Neymar is great, we'll see if he joins Real Madrid – Asensio

Marco Asensio would not be against Neymar joining Real Madrid because he has proven at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain that he is a "great player".

Neymar joined PSG in August in a transfer that rocked football, leaving Barcelona for a world-record deal which cost the Ligue 1 side €222million.

"He's a great player," Asensio told El Larguero.

"He has demonstrated that at both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. We'll see if we happen to meet [in the same team]."

While he recognises Messi's fine performances, Asensio says he is only going to "focus" on Ronaldo.

"Every year they're at an impressive level," he said. "Messi and Cristiano are at a great level, but the one I focus on is Ronaldo, who is next to me."
