Real Madrid transfer news: Neymar bid report ‘absolutely untrue’

LaLiga giants deny claims by Spain’s
national broadcaster

One-Minute Read

According to Spain’s national broadcaster Television Espanola
(TVE), Real offered €310m (£275m) for the 26-year-old forward.

But the LaLiga giants insist the claims are “entirely false”.
The Real statement says: “In light of information
broadcast by TVE regarding an alleged Real Madrid offer to PSG and
their player Neymar, Real Madrid CF wishes to state that this
information is absolutely untrue. Real Madrid has made no offer of
any kind to PSG or the player.  

“Real Madrid are surprised that the Spanish public
television network would choose to broadcast entirely false
information without anyone from the outlet having first contacted
any of the parties concerned to corroborate the supposed
information, which would have been quite easily
discredited.”

Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona last year for a
world-record transfer fee, but has repeatedly been linked with a
move to Barca’s rivals Real. Manchester United and Manchester City
are also reported to be interested.

Neymar has helped Brazil reach the quarter-finals of the
World Cup, in Russia, scoring in Brazil’s 2-0 last-16 win against
Mexico yesterday. Brazil will face Belgium on
Friday.
