The site quotes an unnamed source, who states: “Neymar will be a Real Madrid player in July, but he is not going there any earlier. He has not signed a contract as yet.”
ESPN believe the player will be offered a deal worth £1 million a month in the Spanish capital, before the addition of image rights and other sponsorship deals.
The deal is said to have been agreed in principal and Neymar looks set to choose Real Madrid ahead of the advances of Chelsea and Barcelona.
