£198 million is the figure PSG spent to bring Neymar to Parc de Princes. Real Madrid are currently in the midst of a bigger deal, with Neymar and the expected figure being £223 million.
This addition is extremely necessary because Ronaldo is uncertain to be at the peak of his form for another 2 years. Therefore, Los Blancos urgently need to have one person to gradually replace CR7. After missing Mbappe last summer, Real do not want to lose any more goals.
So, if he joins the Bernabeu and Ronaldo is still playing, where will Neymar play?
Location No. 10 in the 4-3-1-2 formation
During most of his time leading Real, Coach Zidane has let his students play 4-3-3 with the BBC trio in the forward line. However, with Bale constantly injured, Zidane's plan to have 3 real strikers could go bankrupt at any time.
With Neymar, Ronaldo and Benzema will have more space in attack and will be supported by the Brazilian striker himself. In this formation, the No. 10 position will usually be given to Isco, but when Neymar arrives at the Bernabeu, Isco will definitely not have a chance.
The left striker's position in the 4-3-3 formation
This lineup is considered the most optimal for Neymar. During his 4 years at Barca, he was always assigned the left striker position and showed his full talent.
However, the center forward position will be a competition between Ronaldo and Benzema. For a long time, the Portuguese star has not played on the wing like when he was at Manchester United. If left open, the highest player will definitely be Ronaldo, the remaining position in the attack will belong to Marcos Asensio.
The speed of Neymar and Asensio will greatly support CR7, not to mention that this is a duo with quite good suspension, favorable for Ronaldo's aerial battles.
The position of the left winger in the 4-2-3-1 formation
Only one person will play the highest position in the attack, of course it will be Ronaldo. At that time, the No. 10 position will be returned to Isco while Neymar will move to the left wing, Asensio on the opposite wing.
When playing for Santos, Neymar had a great time playing in this position. Basically, this position is no different from the left winger, especially for players with speed like Neymar.
All of the above models are just a hypothetical option if Neymar joins Los Blancos. The quality of Zidane's squad will be improved, but with Benzema and Isco sitting out like that, will the peace in the dressing room still be guaranteed?
