REVEALED: Real Madrid know Neymar's PSG deal carries buyout clause

PSG could yet lose Neymar in the same way they managed to prise him from Barcelona, it has been revealed.

The Parisians paid a world record €222m to match Neymar's buyout clause at Barca in August.

And El Chiringuito reports Neymar's PSG deal also includes an escape option - which was added on the insistence of the Brazilian. The fee set is the same as what PSG paid to ferry him away from Barca.

Neymar is being linked with a return to Spain at Real Madrid, with claims of their president Florentino Perez securing first refusal after negotiations with his father.

Just last night, Real midfielder Casemiro said of his Brazil teammate: “Neymar is a crack.

“He knows what he's doing, he's a great player and he will always be welcome at Real Madrid. I hope he comes, but he's happy at his club.

“He's very important for us (Brazil) and we have to enjoy (watching) him because he's a great player. It's always important to have a little love. Neymar has people by his side who love him and care for him a lot. He's one of the best three players in the world."
