Real Madrid threaten Barcelona pre-contract with Neymar

Real Madrid are exploring the prospect of wrecking Barcelona's move for Santos star Neymar.

Neymar's camp have an agreement with Barca giving them first option on the Brazilian and a penalty fee should he move elsewhere.

However, El Confidencial says Real directors are convinced the deal is not recognised by FIFA and can be easily rumbled should they make a move.

Neymar spent time at Real as a teenager and has spoken with coach Jose Mourinho this year about moving to Madrid.
