SNAPPED: Neymar adviser meets with Real Madrid president Florentino

Agent Wagner Ribeiro has been seen with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Ribeiro, an agent whose clients include Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil's Neymar, has been photographed at a meeting with Bernabéu president Florentino Pérez.

Ribeiro, who was involved in negotiating Neymar's potential transfer to Madrid before the 27-year-old finally joined Barcelona in 2013, took to social media on Saturday to share the image.

"I took offers from Chelsea and Real Madrid to [the player's then club] Santos," Ribeiro has said of Neymar in the past. "Barcelona's went straight to his father. I wanted him to go to Madrid - I've always said that.

"In financial terms, it was a better offer for Santos. It was better for the player too. But he decided to go to Barcelona, because he'd set his heart on that."
