Neymar ends Real Madrid rumour

Neymar has signed an important new deal with the National Bank of Qatar that effectively ends any hope of him joining Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Neymar is the superstar of Paris Saint-Germain, who are owned by the Qatari royal family.

The Brazilian cost PSG £200m when moving from Barcelona in the summer of 2017.

But there have been reports of late that he is angling for a move back to Spain – either to Barca or their rivals Real Madrid.

Real have been pursuing Neymar for over a year but to little success.

Tying down Neymar to another Qatari-based deal further strengthens PSG’s hold on the player.

Neymar quit Barcelona for PSG last year in an attempt to escape from under Lionel Messi’s shadow and win the Ballon d’Or.

But Luka Modric claimed the victory in 2018 after his stellar year for Real and Croatia.
