According to a recent report by Marca, Real Madrid are ready to step up their chase for Paris Saint-Germain wide player Neymar Jr. during the final few weeks of this transfer window. The same source has also mentioned that it is almost impossible for Los Blancos to convince Manchester United to sanction a deal for Paul Pogba after the English transfer window slammed shut yesterday. Thus, the Galacticos are prepared to turn their attention to recruiting Neymar before the European transfer window comes to a halt later this summer.
Real Madrid is in dire need of a new wide player after Marko Asensio suffered a severe, long-term injury earlier this summer.
Neymar Needs To Make A Fresh Start: Why Madrid Could Be A Perfect Destination For Him
The Brazilian talent missed a significant chunk of last season due to injury, but he still managed to put in numerous match-winning displays at the French capital. A change of scenery in this off-season could be ideal for the PSG forward as he will be able to reignite his career in European football. It makes a lot of sense for Neymar to make a return to Spanish football as he knows the league well from his time at Barcelona.
Since his big-money switch to the Ligue 1 in the summer of 2017, the ex-Santos striker made a total of 58 appearances for PSG, finding the back of the net on 51 occasions while providing 29 assists in all competitions.
Neymar is also vastly experienced in international football after representing Brazil in 97 matches while registering 60 goals for them in the process. The Brazilian trickster is a natural goal-scorer, so if he can stay fit and prove his fitness, then he has the potential to help Real Madrid win multiple trophies next season.
What Will The Brazil International Bring To The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium?
Neymar is incredibly quick and agile in the opposition half. His blistering pace allows him to make some dangerous runs behind the opposition defence. The South American talent has quick feet and is full of tricks which enables him to take full advantage of his marker when left isolated in a 1v1 scenario. Furthermore, the PSG talisman is an accomplished finisher in the attacking third of the pitch but needs to be more unselfish if he wants to win more silverware in the coming years.
The addition of a wide player of Neymar’s ilk will arguably make Real Madrid the favourite to secure the La Liga title next season. The prospect of Neymar Jr. linking up with Eden Hazard will be a mouth-watering one for anyone associated with the Spanish club. Hence, the Madrid giants should go all out to bring the Brazilian prospect to the Spanish capital before the start of the new campaign.
