Real Madrid & Barcelona Continue Battle for Neymar - Players Make Contact With PSG Outcast

A number of Real Madrid players are reported to have contacted Neymar to try convince him to move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger has been heavily linked with a move to both Real and rivals Barcelona, although his huge asking price has made the deal incredibly difficult.

Real recently emerged as serious contenders for Neymar's signature, and now ESPN add that several players have reached out to the Brazilian to try and convince him to snub Barcelona in favour of Los Blancos.

Club officials are said to be confident that they can strike a deal for Neymar, given PSG's strained relationship with Barcelona, although they would certainly struggle to meet the French side's huge cash-only asking price.
