Breitner: Neymar will be very important for Real Madrid next year Transfer Market Takes for granted the Brazilian's move

The summer is set to be dominated by Real Madrid's hopes of signing Neymar but one former Blancos star, Paul Breitner, already believes the winger will join ahead of next season.

A LaLiga winner in the capital in 1975 and 1976, the German sees Neymar making a similar positive impact at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in 2018/19.

"Neymar will be very important for Real Madrid next year," Breitner told Sport 1.

Paris Saint-Germain fans have been unhappy with the winger's absence from the French capital since his season ending injury occurred, with Unai Emery recently discussing how Neymar has taken time to adapt to his new surroundings.

"He's not there every day, but he's not yet immersed himself one hundred percent in Paris, the French league, the difficulties, the different football," said the coach on SFR Sport.

"It's all a process, and at PSG we have been integrating him into the group, where we want him to feel welcome."
