Real Madrid continues making noise in the transfer market. This time, Florentino Pérez is preparing a move that could surprise more than a few. It is a transfer that has been linked to the white club on several occasions but is now gaining momentum: Neymar Jr. The Brazilian star, who ends his contract with Al Hilal next summer, has the option of returning to Europe. Real Madrid could be his next destination.
Neymar Jr. Seeks His Return to Europe
At 32, Neymar Jr. remains one of the most talented and sought-after players in the world. After his time at PSG, having shared a locker room with Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, the Brazilian decided to embark on a new stage in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal.
The fact that his contract expires next summer opens the doors to Europe for him, with Real Madrid being a very attractive option.
Although the MLS, with the interest of Inter Miami, seems the most realistic option, Neymar has never hidden his dream of playing for Real Madrid. His good relationship with Vinícius Jr. and Mbappé, both current Madrid players, could facilitate his integration into the white locker room, which has increased the rumors about his possible transfer.
The Appeal of a Free Transfer
One of the key factors is that, as he's become a free agent with Al Hilal, Real Madrid wouldn't have to pay for his transfer. This makes him a bargain, as any team would only have to negotiate his salary and contract. Despite Neymar's age, his skill and experience at the highest level of soccer remain undisputed.
A Dream for Neymar and Real Madrid
The transfer of Neymar Jr. is not only an opportunity for the player but also for Real Madrid. The white team is looking to strengthen its offense with a player who can join Jude Bellingham in creating plays and attacking.
With his vision, dribbling and goalscoring ability, Neymar would be the perfect complement to Bellingham. Despite his past at Barça, Neymar remains one of the most unsettling players, as he showed at PSG and the Brazilian national team.
Neymar's return to European soccer doesn't look like utopian. Real Madrid could be the place where he can shine again alongside other stars such as Vinícius Jr. and Bellingham.
