Neymar talks up Real Madrid

Santos striker Neymar has described Real Madrid as “a great club with a great history” days after calling Barcelona the “best team in the world” as speculation continues over whether the 19-year-old will leave the Brazilian club and head for Spain.

The teenager has been heavily linked with both Real and Barcelona, although Santos president Luis Alvaro De Oliveira last week insisted Neymar will be playing for the club next year.
