Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar and his trusted agent are reportedly to prepare secret talk to Spanish giants Real Madrid before the end of the 2017/18 season.
According to the famous Israeli football agent, Pini Zahavi, he would not be surprised if Neymar returned to Spain and signs with Los Blancos this summer. He also believed that former Barcelona striker has received an offer from the president Florentino Perez.
The 74-year-old man has made a name for himself as a football agent after starting his career as a sports journalist for a number of Israeli news outlets. In August 2017, he had received a €38million for playing a central role in the negotiations that led to the record-setting deal €222million for Neymar.
Zahavi has a good relationship with Madrid president in recent months and some Brazilian media believed that the Israel top agent’s meeting with Neymar and his lawyers was prelude the star’s move to Santiago Bernabeu.
Former team-mate Andres Iniesta, meanwhile, on Friday said to a Spanish radio that he doesn’t want to see Neymar to join Barcelona’s rivals Madrid in next summer. He is a little bit worried and that hurts the fans.
“The truth is that the future of Neymar is not something I’m thinking about. Normally, when you leave a place, it’s hard to come back, which is why I would be more surprised if he returned to go to another team, but we’ll see.” Iniesta said.
“If he signed, Madrid would sign one of the best in the world, but Barcelona will continue with a template that I can better.” Iniesta added.

Neymar became the most expensive player in football history when he moved from Barcelona to PSG for a fee of €222million in last summer.
Some people believed that he left Camp Nou in order to escape the shadow of Lionel Messi and increase his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or alongside PSG.
However, the 25-year-old striker is said to be disappointed and unhappy with PSG’s ability to win the Champions League after their round of 16 exit this season and keen to come back to La Liga.
Neymar is recovering from a broken metatarsal sustained while playing a 3-0 against Marseille. He has scored 25 goals and 16 assists in all competitions for PSG so far.
