5 reasons why Neymar could play for Real Madrid in the future

#4 The greatness of Real Madrid can lure any Brazilian

Many great Brazilians have played for Real Madrid, such as Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Kaka

Real Madrid are considered by many to be the greatest club in the world. Some would disagree with this statement, but the stats don't lie - Madrid have won 12 UEFA Champions League titles, at least five more than their closest competitors, AC Milan.

In local Spanish football, no one has won as many La Liga titles as Los Blancos have. Add to that the fact Madrid have had some of the best Brazilian players throughout their history, and it is clear that they are easily one of the greatest sides in the world.

From Didi, Savio, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Robinho, to Ricardo Kaka, Marcelo and Carlos Henrique Casemiro - the Spanish capital-based club have always been an attractive destination for Brazilians.

As a matter of fact, Marcelo and Casemiro are currently considered to be essential elements at the club, and arguably the best in the world at their position, having won back-to-back Champions League titles. What makes this all the more impressive is that Madrid signed the two while they were still youngsters who had not proven themselves at the top level. The club was essential in their development, helping them reach their current status in world football.

With Real Madrid having already secured the services of Flamengo jewel Vinicius Junior who is set to join the club in 2019, Neymar could well be the leader of a large Brazilian contingent by that time.
