Real Madrid have cooled their interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar Jr, Goal reports. It is understood that this is due to various factors, including the implications that a move for the Brazilian would have on future pursuit of his team-mate, Kylian Mbappe. Madrid has been keen to explore the possibility of signing Neymar, after it emerged he wanted to leave France. But he is no longer a target, especially with his desire to rejoin their LaLiga rivals Barcelona. Zinedine Zidane’s side is instead focusing their attention on other targets, such as Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
