Goal.com: Neymar asked to be sold

Neymar informed the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain about his desire to move to Real Madrid, as reported by the football news portal Goal.com.

However, the French champions do not intend to fulfill this request and will seek to keep the most expensive football player in the world at the club.

The Brazilian arrived in Ligue 1 just last summer, but rumors about his departure have been circulating for almost six months now.

It is now reported that Neymar's agent, Pini Zahavi, met with Real president Florentino Perez last week and talked to the player's lawyer. The player's father also wants the transfer to the "royal" club to happen.

However, this could be hindered by the contract valid until 2022 and the constant assurances of PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi that Neymar will not be sold.
