PSG forward Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, known as Neymar, has held talks with his agents and asked them to make the Real Madrid move happen in January.
Reports suggest his move to the Los Blancos is imminent but the Los Blancos will have to fork out a fee close to £357 million ($488m) if they have to convince Neymar to return to Spain.
Real Madrid is preparing to bring Neymar back to Spain in a sensational move that will shatter his own transfer record.
Los Blancos president Florentino Perez had earlier expressed his desire to sign the Brazilian who remains one of the hottest attacking prospects in world football.
The Paris Saint Germain main man moved to France for a whopping £198m at the end of last season seeking a fresh challenge and a more convincing role at a club. However, latest reports suggest that a move to the European champions at the end of the current season is likely to happen.
According to a report by Spanish newspaper Marca, the move, if it goes through, will not go down well with the Barca fans who still admire the Brazilian ace for his significant contributions to the club.
Neymar won two La Liga, three Copa del Rey and one Champions League title during his illustrious stint with Barca. He has now found new strike partners in Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani alongside whom he has formed a daunting attacking force capable of terrorizing any defense across Europe.
The report suggests that Neymar’s camp has been signaling the move for quite a while as Neymar sees Bernabeu as one of his favorite destinations.
The Madrid outfit is currently placed fourth in the La Liga table, trailing 15 points behind leaders Barcelona. Their title defense in Spain is likely over after a shambolic run in the competition while chances in Europe are not decent either with PSG lined-up in the last 16 of the Champions League.
However, Perez wants to make a statement by signing some of the best players in coming days and assure fans that the club is not going to give up anytime soon.
Not just Neymar, Real Madrid has lined up bids for record breaker Harry Kane and Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard among others.
