Santos welcome Neymar to Real Madrid links

Santos president Jose Carlos Peres has spoken of his excitement at Real Madrid being linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.

Reports in Marca this week have claimed the Brazilian could be on his way to the outgoing European champions this summer from the Parisian club.

The Brazil international joined the Parisian club from Barcelona in a world record €222m back in the summer of 2017 and has been linked with a return to Spanish football since.

“I want to speak about the Neymar issue,” Peres said in Brazil’s Oglobo Esporte.

“I read a report in Marca which spoke of the increasing possibility that Neymar was going to join Madrid, which would be very good news for us.

“We have a four percent option because of the fact he came through our system, we formed him, so this would be an excellent bit of business for us and all money is welcomed.”

Neymar began his career at Santos in his native Brazil before an acrimonious transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2014.
