Intermediaries have reportedly offered Real Madrid the chance to sign Neymar, valued at around €90 million by PSG.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Paris Saint-Germain will look to part ways with Neymar in a deal worth around €90 million. Intermediaries have offered the Brazilian attacker to several clubs, including Real Madrid. But the Merengues do not want to sign him in the summer transfer window.
Neymar has endured a rollercoaster ride since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in a world-record deal in August 2017. And the last half a dozen years have been tumultuous for the club and the player. While the 31-year-old has always shown flashes of his brilliance, injuries have kept him on the sidelines for long periods.
The 31-year-old was in fine form for PSG this season, amassing 18 goals and 17 assists in just 29 appearances. But Neymar’s future is uncertain, with Les Parisiens keen on cashing in on him for around €90 million. And intermediaries have offered the player to several high-profile clubs, including Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will delve into the market for multiple offensive reinforcements in the summer transfer window. The Merengues are losing four attackers for free at the end of the 2022/23 season. And in particular, the departures of Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio can immensely hurt Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants have shown interest in several strikers to replace Benzema. But the departures of Asensio and Eden Hazard will compel them to land a wide attacker. And Neymar’s name has emerged as a potential option to bolster the Real Madrid attacker. But the Merengues have no interest in pursuing the Brazilian international.
So it is hard to fathom Real Madrid paying PSG’s asking price of €90 million to sign the 31-year-old. Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 champions are ready to send the experienced attacker out on loan this summer to temporarily get him off their books. But Real Madrid will not take up that option either.
