From Spain: Real Madrid withdraw from 'El Clasico' duel with Barca to sign Neymar

From Spain: Real Madrid withdraw from 'El Clasico' duel with Barca to sign Neymar

Real Madrid have been showing interest in PSG star Neymar for some time now, but it seems that the Los Blancos are set to withdraw from the race for his signature, as reported by Cadena Cope's Paco Gonzalez.

According to the Spanish journalist, one reason for this could also be that the signing is not well seen among the fans of Real Madrid.

After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, Madrid tried to replace the Portuguese player with another star: Neymar, Mbappe, Hazard or Kane, but no one came. The most interesting name was that of Neymar, who signed with PSG last year from Barcelona. Now, the possibility of Neymar's move away has resumed amid the French club's troubles with Financial Fair Play.

But Neymar is destined to become the impossible dream of Florentino Perez. The Real Madrid president tried to sign him already before he arrived at Barcelona in 2013. In fact, the Brazilian even took a medical in Madrid, but when the option to go to Barcelona emerged, he did not think twice.

The fact that Neymar has been offered to directors and players at Barcelona on several occasions to return to the Nou Camp, could also have its weight on the withdrawal of Perez for the signing of the PSG superstar. While at Barcelona, everyone has open arms for Neymar, including players like Messi, Suarez or Marc-Andre Ter Stegen who said that he 'always wants the best in my team'.
