Terrassa (Barcelona), December 16: Barcelona playmaker Andres Iniesta admits if Neymar joins Real Madrid that would annoy him as the Brazilian could win more matches for their arch rivals.

Iniesta says he can't rule out Real signing Neymar in the future but admits he would be frustrated to see his former Barca team-mate join their biggest rivals.

Neymar left Camp Nou to join Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record 222 million euros fee in August but there are already rumors that he is unsettled in the French capital.

The Brazilian's father left the door open to Neymar's potential exit after admitting a move to Real Madrid remains a possibility in the future.

And having spent four seasons playing alongside Neymar at the Nou Camp, Iniesta admits he would be annoyed to see the 25-year-old in the white of Real Madrid.

“Anything can happen in football and I would not rule it out,” Iniesta told Munto Deportivo when asked if Neymar could move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“We've seen numerous times how there are situations which seem unlikely or impossible but they end up happening. If Neymar was to join Madrid? It would annoy me in the sense that he wins matches and would strengthen a direct rival, but I’m not worried.”

When quizzed about January signings for Barcelona, Iniesta pointed out Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho would be an important signing for the Catalans.

“Coutinho and Mina (Palmeiras defender Yerry Mina) in January? I think it would be two important reinforcements,” Iniesta said. “They would be two big signings for Barca.”

Barcelona look set to return with another bid for Coutinho in January after seeing at least three offers worth more than 113 million euros knocked back by Liverpool in the summer.

Coutinho handed in a transfer request in a bid to force the summer move through but Liverpool held firm and the Brazil international remained at Anfield.

Barcelona are also considering a move next month for Colombian star Mina as they look to bring in defensive reinforcements following the injury suffered by centre back Samuel Umtiti.

They have a first option on the centre back but were not expected to activate the nine million euros until the summer.

However, Umtiti's injury, coupled with Javier Mascherano's desire to leave, means Barcelona could move for Mina in the January window.

Barcelona are five points clear at the top of La Liga after an unbeaten start to the season and host Deportivo on Sunday.
