Real Madrid have reportedly set their signs on a shock move for Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar.
According to Marca, Los Blancos believe that they will be able to lure the Brazilian back to La Liga in the summer of 2019 and are willing to pay a world-record £357m for his services.
Neymar, who is already the world's most expensive player following his £198m move from Barca to PSG last summer, is said to be keen on the move to Real, despite his history with the club's bitter rivals.
Los Blancos have reportedly made the Brazil star their top transfer target, prioritising him over Harry Kane, Eden Hazard and Timo Werner, and are willing to bide their time to get a deal over the line 18 months from now.
Real are currently trailing Barca by 16 points in La Liga, lying in fourth place in the table.
