Neymar's return to Spain grows likelier by the day. According to the latest reports, one of the favorites to land the Brazilian have secured a cash loan in order to finance the move.
According to Sport, they are none other than Real Madrid. They report that Florentino Perez now has the funds to complete a deal for the Selecao superstar after landing a new line of credit. This is crucial as PSG's demands for the player are extravagant.
Los Blancos' interest in Neymar comes as little surprise. The Madrid giants narrowly missed out on his services to Barcelona in 2013 when he made the switch to Europe and have been linked with him ever since his desire to leave Camp Nou came to fruition.
However, after failing to get rid of the likes of Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, and many others, Los Merengues were not able to come up with the necessary funds. Here's where the loan they have reportedly secured will come in handy.
The 13-time Champions League winners are plotting a player-plus-cash offer similar to Barcelona. Sport claim that Real Madrid will offer one or two players – they failed to mention who, however – plus anywhere between $111M to $133M.
Whether the Ligue 1 champions will accept this offer or demand more remains unknown, but one key thing is the player's willingness to move to Santiago Bernabeu. Camp Nou is where his heart lies but the article states Neymar's agent has informed the Real Madrid president that the attacker is open to the move.
Whether Barcelona will go all out in order to steal him away from Zidane's side is another thing. The rocky relationship between the Catalan giants and Neymar's employers is working against them but it will be interesting to see how the Blaugrana will respond to these rumors.
