Real Madrid cult hero Guti believes Los Blancos will sign Neymar in the coming years, with the former playmaker hinting that it is the Brazilian’s destiny to end up at the Bernabeu.
Despite his Barcelona connection, the Whites have been continually linked with the 26-year-old, who has reportedly been unhappy since his world-record £202m switch to the Parisian side last August.
And Guti, the boyhood Madridista who enjoyed a 15-year career with the Spanish giants, reckons it is only a matter of time before Florentino Perez makes him the next Galactico.
Ahead of Real’s first-leg last 16 clash with the Ligue 1 side on home soil on Wednesday night, the now retired 41-year-old said: “I think Neymar will go to Real Madrid.
“At Real Madrid you have to be the best in the world and Neymar is. I think he is more motivated and I think he will continue to be so. He knows that he won’t come to a better place.”
However, in the live interview with El Chiringuito de Jugones, the three-time Champions League winner did state that if Neymar arrived, it would not be at the expense of Cristiano Ronaldo, but rather out-of-form Karim Benzema.
“Who knows if Benzema will be the one who goes to PSG. I think Ronaldo will continue here though.
“Benzema must forget about the fans’ whistles.”
