Rivaldo Would't See Neymar Joining Real Madrid 'As a Betrayal'

Being a Barcelona legend doesn't mean Rivaldo would begrudge fellow Brazilian Neymar joining bitter rivals Real Madrid.

Rivaldo, who played five years and won two La Liga titles with Barca, recently addressed Neymar's future, amid ongoing speculation the world's most expensive player will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Speaking to Betfair (h/t Matthew Cooper of the Daily Express), Rivaldo said:

"For now, what is clear is the player's desire to leave PSG. With two big Spanish clubs competing for him, he should be even more eager to fly away from Paris.
