Superstar Brazilian footballer Neymar's father on Wednesday said that it's too early to discuss the prospect of his son joining Real Madrid, adding the Paris-Saint Germain player has no plans of leaving the club at the moment.

"Things change so much, you can never be sure of anything," Neymar Sr. was quoted as saying by ESPNFC.

"At the moment we are not thinking about leaving PSG. To respond to this question is to feed something which is impossible. I cannot talk about what might happen in five or six years.

"He has a long contract with PSG and has just arrived. He has been here for three months and people are talking about him leaving. It is difficult to respond to this type of thing," he added.

Neymar joined PSG from FC Barcelona in a world record transfer fee but speculation has been rife that the 25-year-old has not settled at the Parc des Princes.

According to reports in Spain, Real president Florentino Perez remained in contact with Neymar's camp with a view to a potential move.

The Brazilian has scored 14 goals and made 10 assists in his first 15 games for PSG.
