Wanted him to join Real: ex-Neymar adviser reveals wild story | OneFootball

Neymar’s career has been marked by highs and lows. The Brazilian reached his peak during his time at Santos and then, of course, at FC Barcelona. But as Neymar’s former advisor Wagner Ribeiro has now revealed, things could have turned out very differently.

The Brazilian revealed that he actually wanted Neymar to join Real Madrid, FC Barcelona’s arch-rivals. A scenario that might have taken the career of one of the most talented players of the 21st century in a completely different direction.

In the end, though, it is all speculation. After his time at Barça, Neymar moved to PSG for the record fee of €222 million and later went to Saudi Arabia before returning home to Santos FC.

Now it’s your turn: Would Neymar’s career have gone better if he had joined Real? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
