Real Madrid collects money to blow up super contract with Neymar

Marca newspaper reported that President Florentino Perez still put Neymar on Real Madrid's transfer priority list. The Spanish Royal team will wait until next summer to blow up the super contract with the former Barca striker.

It is speculated that Real Madrid will not spend money in the winter transfer window, January 2019, but will save money to "go big" on the Neymar deal at the end of the season.

More than a year ago, PSG spent 222 million euros to break Neymar's contract with Barca, creating the transfer of the century. To be able to bring the Brazilian striker back to La Liga, and "fight" against Barca, boss Perez knows how much he has to spend.

Perez wanted Neymar immediately but PSG did not release him and waited until next summer, because the head of the White House determined that Neymar was the most potential player to replace Ronaldo, both on the field and in commercial value.
