Neymar didn't have Real medical

New Barcelona signing Neymar has admitted that he did not undergo a medical with Real Madrid before signing for the Catalan giants.

Neymar, who also said that he chose the Spanish champions for family reasons, was officially announced as a Barca player last week.

"Did I have a medical for Madrid? No. I didn't," he told reporters during his presentation as a Barca player.

The fee to bring Neymar to Barca is understood to be around £30m.
