Barcelona star Messi expects Real Madrid transfer, Ronaldo to Juventus claim

REAL MADRID, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid news is coming thick and fast. Express Sport brings you all the latest from La Liga.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi reportedly expects Real Madrid to sign Neymar.

Neymar only left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in August after the Ligue 1 giants activated his £200million buyout clause.

But Spanish website Diario Gol say Messi feels it is only a matter of time before he moves to the Bernabeu.

It is said Messi is aware the player’s father has a good relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

And, consequently, the Argentina international expects Neymar to sign as a replacement for the ageing Cristiano Ronaldo.
