Transfer news: Zidane reveals admiration for Neymar

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has expressed his admiration for Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar.

Neymar has been constantly linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu lately.

When asked at a press conference ahead of Real’s LaLiga fixture against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday, Zidane said: “I don’t talk about players that aren’t mine, but having said that, and this is very important, he’s a player that everyone on planet football loves because he is a great player.”

PSG, who face Real in the last 16 of the Champions League, paid a world record 222 million euros ($271.28 million) to Barcelona for Neymar last summer.

The LaLiga giants tried to sign Neymar when he was at Santos, but were pipped to his signature by Barca.
