According to a recent report by Le 10 Sport (translated by the Daily Express), Real Madrid has seen their offer of James Rodriguez and £111m be rejected by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar Jr. this summer. The same source has mentioned that the French giants want Isco plus cash in return for their Brazilian striker, but Los Blancos are unwilling to let the 27-year-old leave in this off-season.
Neymar’s Injury-Ridden Spell In The French Top-Flight
Neymar was a frustrated figure at the French capital as he has had his fair share of struggles with injuries last season. He failed to lead his team and reach the advanced stages of the UEFA Champions League, so switching clubs this summer might be the best option for both the player and the French club.
A move to Madrid could help the Brazilian forward reignite his career in European football. Since making a world-record breaking move to Parc Des Princes, Neymar made a total of 58 matches for the Ligue 1 giants, scoring 51 goals while earning 29 assists in multiple competitions.
The South American superstar has also represented Brazil in 97 matches while registering 60 goals for them during his international career. There is no doubt that the Brazilian striker is a prolific goal-getter in Europe. However, he needs to work on improving his fitness if he wants to become the best player in world football.
What Are The Brazilian Striker’s Best Attributes?
The PSG talisman boasts blistering pace and is one of the best dribblers with the ball in European football. He has a low centre of gravity which allows him to make some clever turns to beat his marker in the final third. Furthermore, Neymar can consistently score goals at the highest level as long as he can stay fit for his side.
Real Madrid’s Offer Rejected For Neymar: Massive Blow For Los Blancos?
Missing out on Neymar will be a huge blow for the Galacticos as they are in dire need to bring in a big-name player like the Brazil international. Zinedine Zidane requires a strong squad capable of challenging on all fronts in the 2019-20 campaign so he shouldn’t give up on the ex-Santos prospect.
At 27, the Brazilian is currently enjoying the best years of his playing career. Hence, Real Madrid will be foolish not to give up Isco to bring Neymar back to Spanish football before the start of the new campaign.
