3 reasons why Real Madrid should seriously consider Neymar

Insane productivity

People focus on the injuries, price tag, and perceived attitude issues with Neymar, but they’re not spending enough time looking at the data. And that’s a shame, as Neymar is arguably the world’s best player right now.

Here’s how incredible his 2019-2020 campaign has been for PSG. Despite playing as the supporting attacker for Mauro Icardi and Kylian Mbappe, Neymar has averaged an astounding 1.29 goals and assists per 90 minutes in Ligue 1, as well as 1.43 goals and assists per 90 in the Champions League.

Real Madrid fans should know how much of a game-changer Neymar is. Upon his inclusion into the match in their second fixture in November, PSG were a much more effective team and ended up staging a late comeback to tie things up at two. Similarly, Neymar was crucial in PSG’s second leg win over Borussia Dortmund to advance in the Round of 16.

Neymar has scored 15 goals in a league season four times in his career in European football, and he once had 10 goals in a Champions League campaign at Barcelona. The left winger, attacking midfielder, and striker is capable of scoring goals from anywhere and is also a great passer.

He’s become even more adept at assisting teammates in 2019-2020, thriving as a true playmaker, even dropping deep to thread delightful through balls. Neymar has all the traits to score goals or create chances for his teammates, and, as the stats show, he can do it to as high of a degree as anyone in this world.
