Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal claims he will save Neymar a locker inside the Bernabeu dressing room in case the club decide to sign him this summer.

Brazil’s talisman has been highly touted for a return to Spain ahead of the 2018/19 season, despite signing for PSG in a world record £198m move just last summer.

Carvajal and Neymar are both currently preparing for their upcoming World Cup round-of-16 matches, but the Spaniard has taken some time out to praise his former El Clasico rival.

“If he was born to play in Madrid, I don’t know,” he said to Cadena SER.

“Madrid always want the best in the world. If the president is determined to sign him, we will have to save a locker!”

If Spain overcome Russia and Brazil defeat Mexico, then the two potential future teammates will move closer to a possible meeting at the World Cup.

However, they are now on opposite sides of the tournament tree and so would not face each other until the final.

Neymar is yet to hit his best form at this World Cup with just one goal in his country’s first three games.

Carvajal meanwhile has returned to fitness and was back to his best for Spain against Iran and Morocco.
