Real Madrid could enter the race to sign Neymar – but only on one condition
Real Madrid will attempt to sign Neymar if their attempt to acquire Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba fails, report ESPN.
The La Liga giants have been chasing Pogba all summer but are yet to agree a deal on the eve of the Premier League's transfer deadline on Thursday.
