#3 Real Madrid's interest in Neymar
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has had his sight fixed on the Brazilian superstar Neymar for quite some time now. The 'once upon a time' wonderkid is now challenging the two best players world football currently possesses, Messi and Ronaldo, for the Ballon d'Or award.
When Ronaldo won the prestigious award, Perez said that the PSG player will have to join Real so as to get his hands on the coveted award. Again, Perez's attitude possibly miffed Ronaldo and he didn't quite like the rumours of Madrid being linked with Neymar, which were spreading like a forest fire.
Hence, the man from Madeira possibly concluded that his time was over and perhaps Real Madrid are looking for a new galactico.
