Real Madrid to step up pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar?

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to press ahead with their efforts to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar this week.

With just two weeks remaining of the summer transfer window, both Real and Barcelona are looking to reach an agreement with PSG for the world's most expensive player.

There have been conflicting reports regarding PSG's demands, while Barcelona are allegedly keen to put together a loan deal before signing Neymar next summer.

According to AS, Real remain undeterred in their bid to edge out their fierce rivals, despite the 27-year-old's preference being a return to Camp Nou.

PSG are said to be interested in a number of Real players in part-exchange, including Raphael Varane and Vinicius Junior, although it is unclear whether Zinedine Zidane would be prepared to give the green light for either player to leave the Bernabeu.
