Spanish Report Says Neymar's Father Held Talks With Real Madrid President Over Future Transfer

Neymar's father has held discussions with Real Madrid over a potential future transfer for his son, despite joining Paris Saint-Germain in a £200m move over the summer, according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo.

The former Barcelona forward was strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid before making Catalonia his home, leaving Brazilian side Santos for Europe in 2013.

Despite missing out on the forward, Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, is tempted to bring Neymar to the Santiago Bernabéu when Los Blancos begin their search for someone to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar's decision to leave Barcelona this summer was understood to be, in part, about escaping Lionel Messi's shadow.
