Real Madrid Neymar bid accepted

It is believed that Santos star Neymar will join Real Madrid this summer after a transfer was agreed in principle.

Neymar has become one of the world's most sought after players after his magical displays have made legends like Pele draw comparisons of his talent with players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have both scouted him extensively and it was widely believed that the player would sign for one of the two Spanish giants.

Neymar has stayed in Brazil this long as he wants to play the Club World Cup with Santos in December.

ESPNSoccernet claims that Real will be forced into shelling out an amazing £53 million for the player's transfer. The total value of the deal could rise up to £150 million keeping in mind his £1 million-a-month contract, image rights and commercial deals.
