DBasia.news – Apparently, Neymar had almost joined Real Madrid when he left Santos. However, according to Marcelo Teixeira’s confession, Santos’ President, Neymar failed to go to Madrid because of bad relations with Madrid related to Santos’s transfer.
Neymar is the center of attention. That was after the PSG player was associated with two Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Barcelona itself is not a new club for Neymar. Before joining PSG, Neymar had a chance to make a trident up front with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has targeted Neymar for a long time. Precisely when the Brazilian national team captain was a teenager and defended Santos.
Apparently, Santos gave a professional contract when Neymar was 14 years old to prevent him from joining Real Madrid. At that time, the relationship between the two clubs heats up due to the transfer of Robinho.
“Neymar was targeted by Real Madrid, but Santos managed to arrest him and his father. We offer a contract that gives him millions of dollars,” recalls Marcelo Teixeira.
“Of course Neymar immediately accepted the offer. At that time, people thought I was crazy. However, it was important for Santos to successfully arrest Neymar.”
“At that time Santos’s relationship with Real Madrid was bad because of Robinho’s transfer. However, after defending Neymar, everything improved,” he added.
Real Madrid is reportedly ready to send another offer to Neymar. This time, Los Merengues included James Rodriguez in the bid for PSG.
