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

Real deny claims made by Spain’s public
service broadcaster TVE

One-Minute Read

According to Television Espanola (TVE) – the public service
broadcaster in Spain – it was claimed that Real had offered €310m
(£274.43) to PSG for the 26-year-old forward.

Real have hit back, saying the reports are “entirely
false”. The statement said: “In light of information broadcast by
TVE regarding an alleged Real Madrid offer to PSG and their player
Neymar, Real Madrid C.F. 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 continuously been linked with a
move to Barca’s rivals Real. It’s claimed that Manchester United
and Manchester City are also interested.

Currently at the World Cup in Russia, Neymar has helped
Brazil reach the quarter-finals where they will face Belgium. He
scored in Brazil’s 2-0 last-16 win against Mexico
yesterday.
