The British newspaper "Daily Mail" revealed a resounding surprise in the form of pictures of the Brazilian star Neymar at the age of 13, confirming that the player was on his way to join Real Madrid in 2006 before he later chose the direct competitor Barcelona.
The newspaper said in its report published today (Tuesday) that Neymar came from Brazil to visit the Bernabeu stadium in 2006, accompanied by his father, to conduct tests with Real Madrid, who decided to accept the player and offered him a long-term contract, but he refused the offer to appear after 3 years for the first time with the Brazilian club Santos. who earned his signature by offering Neymar's family an apartment near the training ground.
The newspaper confirmed that "the Brazilian club convinced Neymar's father that home comforts are the best option for his son's career and his development into an elite talent in his homeland."
Negotiations were at an advanced stage with Real Madrid, and from here came a picture of the registration form that would have seen him play in the youth team with the likes of Dani Carvajal and Pablo Sarabia.
Neymar moved from Santos to Barcelona, the traditional rival of Real Madrid, in 2013, and then in 2017, he moved to his current team, Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar's transfer to Barcelona was the second largest deal in the club's history at the time, amounting to 57 million euros, with a penalty clause of 190 million euros. After hard negotiations between the two parties, Real Madrid entered into it and was trying to obtain the player's signature.
Real Madrid is still hoping to include Neymar to this day, even though the player came with his feet to the club's building and conducted tests at the Bernabeu stadium. Are the club's mistakes against Neymar by not making an offer worthy of him?
This usually happens with many clubs that refuse to include promising children for various reasons, and they later become stars with resounding names.
