Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura would prefer his club signed Neymar over Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi.

Laurent Blanc's side have already secured their fourth straight Ligue 1 title, and are still in the Champions League, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue as they bid for the French quadruple.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic out of contract at the end of the season, speculation in the English and French press has linked Blanc with a number of high-profile forwards.

But when asked by Canal+ who he would like to see join the French champions, Moura opted for his Brazil team-mate over Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.

"Hosting Messi at Paris? Yes, why not. Or Benzema or Lewandowski," he said. "But I prefer Neymar. It would be good for me and for the club, even if he plays in the same position as me."

Moura, who has six goals and four assists in 29 league appearances this season, was also asked about his own future, but the former Sao Paulo attacker insists he plans to stay at PSG before heading back to Brazil.
