Neymar wants to sign for Real Madrid but told them that he would only do so if they buy one of his friends currently based in Liverpool.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is obsessed with signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer’s transfer window. The 71-year-old wants the Brazil international for the sensational player he is as well as his lucrative marketing capability. That move could actually end up happening this summer with Paris Saint-Germain ready to sell him.

Neymar has been a burden on the Parisians who have not done great in the Champions League even with him in the squad. Moreover, Kylian Mbappe is already a big thing and many would argue that he is a step above Neymar at the Parc de Princes. The former Barcelona man could head to the Santiago Bernabeu for around 200 to 250 million euros.

As hefty as would be his transfer fee, the winger’s wage would be no let down. Moreover, Neymar wants to play alongside his compatriot Roberto Firmino at the Spanish capital and has assured to Florentino Perez that he will sign if the former Hoffenheim striker is signed, as per Fox Sports. To say the least, Firmino has enjoyed a prolific season at the Anfield.

Roberto Firmino was one of the best players during the Premier League season which Liverpool ended with 97 points and will be vital for the Reds in the Champions League Final in a fortnight’s time against English rivals Tottenham Hotspur. According to several claims, Klopp will let Firmino leave if Liverpool win the European Cup this year.

Whether Real Madrid will listen to Neymar’s demands remains to be seen because they have agreed terms with Luka Jovic on a transfer. Karim Benzema is also set for a stay so it would not be sensible of the Merengues to purchase a third striker. That said, Neymar could surprisingly sign for Madrid but Firmino’s signing is practically impossible if Jovic arrives.
