PSG star Neymar sets Real Madrid deadline for world record deal

PSG star Neymar has set Real Madrid a deadline to get a deal for him done.

Neymar has welcomed Real's interest, but doesn't want negotiations to drag on over the summer.

Real representatives met with the father of Neymar a fortnight ago, where he was informed president Florentino Perez was willing to pay €400m to bring the former Barcelona star back to Spain.

Don Balon says Neymar is keen to move to Madrid - but only if an agreement with PSG can be settled before the World Cup.

The Brazil captain doesn't want any distractions during the Russian tournament and so has requested Real find an agreement with PSG before it kicks off. However, the likelihood of that happening is remote, with Perez needing to sell players to help fund his world record plans.
