Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta said he would love to have Neymar at the club than a massive transfer fee, with speculations linking the Brazilian to PSG.

PSG have reportedly held discussions with Barcelona about a transfer for the 25 year-old that would smash the world record 89 million pounds ($116.88 million) Manchester United paid for France midfielder Paul Pogba last year by some distance.

Barcelona skipper Iniesta described Neymar as a "fundamental piece of the team", but believes the uncertainty over the Brazilian forward is having an unsettling influence on the squad.

"I do not think 200-300 million will be more beneficial for Barcelona than having Neymar," Iniesta told a news conference ahead of the Saturday's pre-season friendly against Real Madrid.

"He is one of the best players in the world and I always want the best players in my team. I have no doubt that we all wish him to continue with us.

"We would like you (the press) to not keep asking (about Neymar) so much, but to end this, there is only one way: Neymar will speak."

Neymar, whose buy-out clause at Barcelona was set at over 200 million euros ($234.96 million), cancelled a personal appearance in China next week because he was said to be "busy with transfer business" which has acted as the fuel to the fire.

Iniesta also confirmed the training bust-up between Neymar and team mate Nelson Semedo on Friday but refused to admit that it was due to the frustration of the Brazilian.

"It's true that there was that incident, which can be part of a training session," Iniesta added.

"But because of the situation and what is being said about Ney, which is worldwide, it has much more significance. For those of us who are training however, it's nothing."
