Former Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano feels that it would be a huge coup for club if they were to sign Santos star Neymar.
The Brazil international seems destined to join Barcelona this summer, despite his club turning down two offers from the Catalan giants earlier this week.
Madrid are also believed to be closely monitoring the 21-year-old’s situation and Valdano would love to see Neymar make the move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Valdano told Marca: “It would be a huge coup if Real Madrid manage to sign Neymar.
“Not just because he’s a great player, but also because they’d then take him right from under Barcelona’s nose.
“I like Neymar a lot. Many of his individual actions result in a goal and often it’s a move that only seems to be happening with him on the pitch.”
Negotiations between Barca and Santos are believed to be ongoing, while Madrid are yet to make an official offer.
