REVEALED: Real Madrid to sign Neymar 'before World Cup' in €300M deal

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is confident of signing PSG superstar Neymar this summer - and for an 'affordable' fee.

That's according to Okdiario's senior pundit Eduardo Inda, who says Real will pay nothing like the €400m fee suggested earlier this year for the former Barcelona star.

Inda stated on El Chiringuito de Jugones: "Neymar will play at Real Madrid next season, except for a surprise.

"He will cost between 20% and 25% more than he cost PSG. About €260 million, could be close to €300 million. Some say that PSG paid €222m (to Barca) plus €40 for the father."

"Pini Zahavi, his Dad's agent, has left everything close to being finalized. It can be announced before the World Cup."

Inda also stated Neymar would take the No10 shirt at Real, which is currently held by Luka Modric.
