Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva said on Sunday he hopes Neymar will stay at the club but admitted that his compatriot’s future is up in the air.

The Brazilian striker has been linked with a move back to his former club Barcelona – and uncertainty over his future has seen him left out of the French champions squad for two weeks in a row.

With Neymar missing, PSG suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Rennes in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Despite Edinson Cavani scoring first after a blunder in the Rennes defence, M’Baye Niang equalised for Rennes just before the break, and Romain De Castillo scored the winner early in the second half to complete the turnaround.
