Real Madrid are going all out to upstage Barcelona by signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the summer transfer window. To this end, as per L'Equipe, Real Madrid offered €100 million + Keylor Navas, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale in exchange for the Brazilian. However, the Ligue 1 champions have now rejected that offer.

Paris Saint-Germain are open to selling Neymar as they do not want to keep an unsettled player in their ranks. However, they are willing to offload him only for the right price. They want an amount in the ballpark of the initial €222 million they paid to bring him from Barcelona.

Real Madrid are reportedly expecting PSG to grant them a right of first refusal as the Parisians are not big on selling the Brazilian back to Barcelona. Before the transfer window closes, there will surely be more twists and turns in the Neymar saga. Speaking of twists...
