Fresh rumours linking Real Madrid to Neymar recently emerged after the Brazilian's father reportedly met with Real Madrid chiefs to discuss a potential big-money transfer to the Bernabeu. According to the 'Daily Mail', Neymar would like to see a deal wrapped up before he links up with his Brazilian teammates at the World Cup in summer, with the forward not wanting the saga to distract from Brazil's tournament campaign.
Furthermore, the news outlet has reported that Neymar is Real's number one priority this summer, and it looks like they might make use of their own Brazilian stars to force a move. As reported by 'AS', it is likely that Marcelo and Casemiro, Madrid's Brazilian duo, will attempt to persuade the forward to ditch Paris Saint-Germain in favour of a return to Spain.
If reports are to be believed, a deal in the region of €400m is being discussed, a price which would dwarf the current world record transfer fee (€222m) that the Brazilian set last summer.
The British newspaper also claim that Neymar's sponsor Nike are willing to chip in for the deal, as they look to continue the soap-opera-esque saga that is Neymar's life. The sports brand are said to be keen for the superstar to make the high-profile move, as it would provide good publicity for them.
