    Amid the Neymar transfer speculation, former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has claimed that a move to the Bernabeu is the way for Neymar to take his career to the next level.

    Now a youth coach for Madrid, Guti believes the former Barcelona star would do well to make the switch from Paris Saint-Germian, insisting it’s the only logical move.

    “Hopefully, he’ll wear the shirt in future,” he told Cadena Ser. “If he wants to advance and to scale new heights, it’s only Real Madrid left for him.

    “In the end, he was at an important club like Barcelona and now he is at another in PSG but you only really get to see him in the Champions League. All that is missing for him is Real Madrid.”

    With Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale fighting for their places in the side while being linked to moves away from the Spanish capital, it seems as if Madrid chief Florentino Perez is weighing up a swoop for Neymar.

    Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, Guti says no one is safe from the axe in the current Madrid squad.

    “There’s nobody untouchable any more, just Cristiano, because he’s earned it,” said Guti. “[Bale and Benzema] are great players and if they are at the top level, they are very important players for Real Madrid.

    “But what Zidane has made crystal clear is that he has a great squad and anyone who proves to him that he can play will play. From now on, everyone has to put on their work overalls and try to do the best to get minutes with Zidane.”
