As per multiple sources, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG ) have begun negotiations concerning the sale of their superstar player Neymar Jr with Real Madrid. It has been reported now that PSG are demanding €100 million and two Real Madrid players in exchange for the 27-year-old forward.
Spanish weekly sports magazine, Don Balon, reports that PSG have expressed that they would be happy to have Luca Modric and James Rodriguez a snew signings, in exchange for their star striker Neymar.

PSG clearly do not want Neymar in their scheme of things anymore and Neymar too has stated that he is not interested to join his teammates for the pre-season training. He also publicly confessed that he is willing to move back to Spain and his preferred club would be Barcelona and not Real Madrid, hinting at his possible reunion with his former club.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is going through a difficult phase. They have lost two pre-season matches in a span of few days – against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid this Saturday.
The defeats, especially the second one in which Real Madrid received a 7-3 thrashing, has left the players with a serious dent in their self-esteem and morale and it would be crucial for them to find some form ahead of the season. That is perhaps one of the prime reasons why President Florentino Perez wants another attacking option in the form of Neymar in the team.
