Real Madrid president Perez still 'dreams' of signing Neymar, says PSG star's former agent

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez still dreams of signing Neymar, according to the player’s former agent Wagner Ribeiro.

Perez wanted Neymar back when he was a youngster at Santos, though the Brazil star eventually "followed his heart" and opted to sign for their Clasico rivals Barcelona.

Barca still want to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou from Paris Saint-Germain but the president of Mediapro, which is set to broadcast Ligue 1 matches next season, has said it is "impossible" that Barca could finance such a move.
