Real Madrid star forward Karim Benzema uploaded a photo of himself alongside the Brazil star as rumours continue to surround a possible exit from the Ligue 1 champions.
Reports have swirled suggesting the Brazil star is unhappy with his situation with the Ligue 1 champions following a second successive productive but injury-plagued season.
Those rumours were only heightened when PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi declared nobody had forced Neymar to sign with the club, while also saying he wouldn't condone celebrity behaviour from any of the squad's players.
Karim Benzema appeared to have added yet another twist too Neymar exit rumours as the Real Madrid foward posted a photo of himself with the Paris Saint-Germain star on Instagram.
Reports have it that FC Barcelona remain interested in a reunion with their former star,however, for that reunion to occur, Neymar must undertake certain steps, including taking a salary cut, with the star’s wages currently only outpaced by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rivals Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation , as they would be looking to pounce on any opportunity with president Florentino Perez hopeful to secure the signature of a player he has long coveted.
Benzema posted the photo of himself and Neymar to his Instagram with the caption of: “Nueve / Neyney #Cracks”.
Significant hurdles remain, however, for any move to Real Madrid, given the likely financial considerations of a Neymar deal, with Liga giants having already spent this summer on the likes of Eden Hazard , Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy.
Madrid on the other hand will be looking to offload numerous players which include Isco and Gareth Bale, although the club are not willing to give their unwanted players away for less than their market value.
Benzema himself is no certainty to be at the club next season, with his name discussed in reports as possibly moving to PSG.
Neymar is currently recovering from an ankle injury which caused him to miss the Copa America, which is hosted this year by Brazil.
Benzema might just do his current employee a favour of being their super agent to lure Neymar Jr. over to the Bernabeau.
