Ribeiro: Real Madrid still dream of signing Neymar

Brazilian super-agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has insisted that  Real Madrid remain keen on PSG ace, Neymar.

Ribeiro worked alongside Neymar in his early years and helped with his move to Barcelona.

He told ESPN: “Real Madrid called me on a number of occasions because Florentino dreamed about signing Neymar. I was with him last year, in May, in his office, and he told me then he still dreamed about signing Neymar.”

Ribeiro also revealed that PSG have put a price on Neymar’s head.

“It will cost you €164m to sign Neymar today. That price didn’t exist a year ago.”

Although the agent admits there won’t be many deals above €50m due to the current coronavirus outbreak.

“He’s a lot better than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. I’ve never seen Neymar play badly. He always made the difference at Santos, despite getting kicked, as he either scored or assisted. We saw that at both Barcelona and PSG.”
