Marcelo wants Neymar at Real Madrid

Marcelo believes former Barcelona star Neymar will eventually join Real Madrid.

Neymar only completed his world-record €222 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain last August but the Brazil international has already been linked with a sensational switch to Madrid.

And Madrid full-back Marcelo has tipped his Brazil team-mate to eventually return to Spain via the Santiago Bernabeu.

“I think Neymar will play for Real Madrid one day,” Marcelo told Esporte Interativo ahead of Madrid’s showdown with PSG in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday.

“Would Neymar fit at Real Madrid? He would fit, for sure.

“It would be great if he came to Real Madrid.

“In my opinion, the great players have to play at this club.”

Real president Florentino Perez has previously fuelled talk of a bid for the Brazilian by claiming that he has a better chance of winning the Ballon d’Or, and breaking the duopoly of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, at Real.

“It’s difficult to see who will take the leadership away from Cristiano [Ronaldo] and [Lionel] Messi,” said Perez in December.

“Being at Madrid would make it easier for Neymar to win it [the Ballon d’Or]. Madrid is a club that gives big players what they need.”
