Zidane rules out Madrid signing Neymar
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Zinedine Zidane has ruled out the possibility of signing PSG superstar Neymar during his reign at the club as he believes it would disrupt the dressing room.
Neymar has been linked with a sensational return to Spain and is said to have a £198million release clause inserted into his contract.
However despite Real Madrid’s top brass wanting a new superstar to lead their side to more success, Zidane is said to be against the signing.
Neymar is said to be keen on waving goodbye to PSG but Real Madrid will not be signing him
The Frenchman believes the signing would have a negative impact on Real Madrid’s three-pronged attack of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, according to diario Gol.
Ronaldo is said to have a strong relationship with Neymar, who is already pining for a move away from the French capital, while Bale is continually being linked with a move to Manchester United.
Neymar would risk further upsetting Lionel Messi if he was to join Barcelona’s main rivals after ending his four-year spell at the Nou Camp.
