What’s the story?

Real Madrid have been actively pursuing a move for former Barcelona star Neymar. The player also has refused to rule out a move, claiming: “Real is one of the biggest clubs in the world.

“Everyone that is followed by Real Madrid would feel attracted to play there, but I am happy in Paris. But no one knows the future, I am not saying that I will play for Real Madrid."

And according to Le10Sport, the Brazilian could break the transfer record yet again.

The heart of the matter

Ever since his move to Paris, it has been speculated that Real Madrid would eventually sign him somewhere down the line and the stories have persisted ever since. Even Barcelona are being linked with a move to bring him back.

According to the aforementioned report, Neymar could cost up to €400 million in this crazy market, which means that he could once again break the transfer record.

Rumour rating: 6/10

PSG made him the most expensive player of all time due his abilities with the ball at his feet. Given that they paid €222 million, it won’t be shocking to see another club pay a lot more than that to acquire the services of the Brazilian.

What’s next?

Given the way the market works these days, the average price on the head of a player that knows his way around a football is around €50 million. It is very hard to find a decent player below that amount and this is Neymar we are talking about here.
