Real Madrid superstar threatens to leave if Neymar signs
Real Madrid will have to part ways with one of their star players if they sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer.
Real Madrid are close to signing Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, but their transfer ambitions are not limited to just the midfielder’s signing. The club’s president Florentino Perez has one eye towards sealing the deal for either Neymar or Kylian Mbappe, and if it were to happen this summer, then a transfer for the former is on the cards.

Paris Saint-Germain are unhappy with the winger’s antiques off the pitch and will be looking to sell him off before the relationship between them and the player reaches an irreparable point. That being said, the French champions will demand in excess of 200 million euros for selling Neymar, a price tag which Real Madrid are willing to meet.
The Brazil international would score a lot of goals for them and be a marketable player as well. Additionally, he could pursue his dream of winning the Golden Ball in Madrid simply because the club has a lot of influence over the Ballon d’Or winners as has been observed by the most recent results in the past few years.
However, some of Real Madrid’s most senior players including Sergio Ramos are not in favour of the transfer. Zinedine Zidane is not a big fan of Neymar either and believes that the former Barcelona forward could be a disruptive factor in the dressing room. Plus, his nightlife and overdone social life are not great characteristics as per Zidane.
As per Fox Sports, Marco Asensio has threatened to leave the Santiago Bernabeu if Neymar is signed. The Mallorca youngster believes that his chances at the club will be very limited if Hazard, Jovic and Neymar are signed and hence, he wouldn’t mind walking away. With Asensio having scored just six and assisted seven across 44 appearances, it won’t be surprising if Real Madrid sell him off to accommodate Neymar.
