'MARCA': Neymar wants to play alongside Cristiano

Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo. Side by side. According to 'MARCA', it's not just Real Madrid fans who want to see the two stars play together, in fact it's a dream of the Brazilian dynamo himself. 

After a season marred by controversies both on and off the pitch, the Brazilian has apparently set his sights on making the move to Madrid, where he wants to share a dressing room with Cristiano.

That being said, it will not be easy to orchestrate this move. PSG are not looking to sell, having spent €222m last summer to bring the star to Paris. 

Just like his move from Barcelona to Paris, if Neymar is to get the transfer, it will have to be through forcing a deal through himself. There have been no shortage of rumours about Neymar moving back to Spain over the past few months, but they all point out the same thing: the difficulty of the operation.

"I respect Cristiano very much," Neymar stated a few months ago. "He is the benchmark for someone like me." These statements point to a desire from Neymar to play alongside the Real Madrid forward. The Brazilian also compared Cristiano to former teammate Leo Messi.

"He has spent the last ten years at the top, like Messi," he continued. "We all aspire to be as good as them." Could he get the chance to gain experience from Ronaldo with a move in summer?
