3 players Real Madrid can target if they miss out on Eden Hazard

#2 Neymar

Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C

Once upon a time, the PSG Number 10 was probably the most talked about player in the world and rightly so as he was on a rampage for Barcelona destroying La Liga clubs' defences alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

The Brazilian's aura started to fade after he chose to come out of Messi's shadow and try to be recognized as the world's best away from Spain, and that's when he joined French giants, Paris Saint Germain. But since the move, Neymar has seemed complacent and he has transformed from a game changer to just another great player amongst many.

The only thing Neymar requires, to boost his confidence and his game, is a move to a club which guarantees him a tougher league to compete and prove himself in. And that's exactly what Real Madrid can offer him.

It's difficult to imagine a Barcelona player to play for Real Madrid just a couple of years after he was a fan favourite at the Camp Nou, but legends in the past have taken this step and have changed their status from great to legendary.

With Neymar on the left, Benzema at the centre, Bale on the right, and Modric, Isco and Casemiro in the midfield, Real Madrid could finally come back to their glory days again.

Currently valued at €180 million and a contract that ends in 2022, Neymar, if pursued by Real Madrid, will cost them a pretty hefty amount.
