Neymar to Real Madrid: Guillem Balague reveals when deal will happen
REAL MADRID have a good chance of signing Neymar but any deal would not happen until the summer of 2019.
Neymar has been linked with a sensational return to Spain with Real Madrid
That is according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Neymar has been linked with a stunning return to Spain just seven months after leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG signed the Brazilian superstar for a world-record transfer fee of £200million last August.
Balague says there is no doubt that both Real Madrid and Neymar want a deal to happen.
This will continue for another year and a half before Real Madrid may actually get their man
But he thinks PSG will stand firm for another season at least.
“We are going to be hearing this for the next 18 months I think,” Balague said on Sky Sports News.
“This is a campaign that has started in the Neymar camp. Yes Real Madrid want to have him.
“The €400m figure that has just come out, it comes from the entourage of Neymar.

Neymar could join Real Madrid but it will not happen until next year, claims Balague
“He’s got no buyout clause, PSG are saying ‘no way we’re going to let you go’.
“But the pressure’s on, the pressure is absolutely on.
“On one hand Neymar wants to go, on the other Real Madrid want to get him, and on the other PSG don’t want to get rid of him.
“So this will continue for another year and a half before Real Madrid may actually get their man.”
