Neymar ‘holds Real Madrid talks with agent’
Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has reportedly held talks with his agent to discuss speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Neymar only joined PSG in a world-record £200m deal last summer, but reports quickly emerged claiming that he was unhappy in the French capital and regretted leaving Barcelona.
Barca’s bitter rivals Real Madrid have been heavily linked with an audacious move for the Brazilian, who is understood to be keen on a return to Spain.
UOL Esporte reports that Neymar’s agent Pini Zahavi has received details of a prospective offer from Madrid president Florentino Perez and has now discussed them with the player himself.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting diretor Antero Henrique are also understood to have travelled to Brazil to undergo talks over Neymar’s future, with the 26-year-old currently in his home country while he recovers from a broken metatarsal.
The French club’s exit from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid is thought to have increased Neymar’s desire to leave the club, although Madrid will likely need to stump up another world-record fee to convince PSG to sell.
