The Brazil international has recently been linked with a move to last season's Ligue 1 runners up, and Motta told journalists on Thursday that even the club's players were talking about the rumours.
Motta said: "Of course we speak about it. He is a great player. What team would not want Neymar?"
He added: "Everyone would like to have him...If he comes, he will be welcomed with open arms. I hope that things will finish well for PSG."
It was reported last week that Neymar had agreed terms with PSG, but that any triggering of the 25-year-old's €222 million buyout clause could have implications regarding UEFA's financial fair play rules.
However, Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has insisted that Neymar is not for sale.
In an interview Bartomeu insisted: "He is not on the market...He is part of this trident."
