Marcelo went on to say that he would accept the forward in the Santiago Bernabeu despite his Barcelona past.

“Neymar is an unpredictable player. When defending when you have anticipated something, he has already thought of something else and it’s impossible to defend. Having Neymar at Real Madrid would be a huge pleasure. Madrid have to do everything to sign the best players in the world and his past at Barcelona would not be a problem.”
