Former Chelsea target denies Real Madrid talk

Reports in the Brazilian press has suggested that the 19-year-old has passed a secret medical with Real Madrid in a Sao Paulo hospital on Friday.

But Neymar insists he was not in the hospital for a medical, but “to solve a personal problem”.

“I have been sold like 30 times,” Neymar is quoted as saying by Lancenet. “There is no truth to that, I am a player of Santos and I will stay here to play at the club’s centenary.

“That is all speculation, there is no deal. I went to the hospital to solve a personal problem.”
