Wagner Ribeiro: Florentino told me Neymar his dream Real Madrid signing

Brazilian super agent Wagner Ribeiro says Real Madrid president Florentino Perez remains keen on Neymar.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has been working on a way to bring Neymar back to the club this summer from PSG. But with a focus also on Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, Barca are struggling to find the funds for both deals to be completed.

Watching in the background is Florentino and Ribeiro, who once managed Neymar and remains close to the family, says Real are still an interested party.

He told FOX Sports: "I have been to Madrid several times because the Florentino Pérez's objective was to recruit Neymar.

"Last year, in May, I was with him in his office. He told me that he had this dream of signing Neymar."
