Neymar ‘has his suitcases packed’ as Real Madrid line up world record transfer for PSG striker
NEYMAR is reportedly waiting on Real Madrid to make a world-record bid for him and end his PSG nightmare.
And according to Spanish newspaper Sport, the striker “already has his suitcases ready” for a return to La Liga.
PSG paid a whopping £198million to Barcelona to sign the Brazilian in the summer of 2017.
The French giants believed it would finally mean they would win the Champions League – but that is still to happen.
They are yet to get past the quarter-final stage, and this season were sensationally beaten by Manchester United over two legs in the round of 16.
There have been rumours all season that Neymar is “desperate” for a return to Spain, with his old club Barca being his favoured destination.
MBAPPE FOLLOWING NEYMAR?
But now their fierce rivals Real Madrid have emerged as the more likely suitors, with Zinedine Zidane set for a huge summer overhaul at the Bernabeu.
SunSport reported that Neymar’s PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe has also been linked with a move to Los Blancos.
The 20-year-old snubbed the Spanish giants for Paris when he left Monaco for around £156m in 2017, but he has remained consistently linked with a move to Madrid.
