According to media outlet Defensa Central via The Hard Tackle, Real Madrid turned down the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar this summer.

The report claims several intermediaries offered the Brazilian to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez but he turned it down as he’s instead prioritising signing other players.

Real Madrid also turned down the chance of signing Paul Pogba as a free agent this summer. The France international is leaving Manchester United after six years when his contract expires at the end of June.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have reached an agreement with French club Monaco to sign France international Aurelien Tchouameni for €100million.

Real Madrid president Perez made signing the midfielder a top priority this summer after Kylian Mbappe opted against joining Real Madrid this summer.
