Brazil legend Rivaldo is relishing the prospect of Neymar potentially linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus , believing the pair could form a deadly attacking partnership in Turin.
Reports recently emerged claiming that Juventus are preparing to swoop in with a mammoth player-plus-cash offer for Neymar, with Paulo Dybala believed to offered as part of the deal.
And Rivaldo would rather see Neymar join Juve instead of returning to Barcelona – just to see him ply his trade alongside Portuguese superstar Ronaldo.
“This transfer can only be complete if Barcelona decide to invest on him as he is an expensive player, and it now seems like Juventus are also thinking about signing Neymar,” Rivaldo told Betfair.
“It would be great to see him playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. I believe it would be wonderful for CR7 to have Neymar by his side, as the Brazilian would help him a lot with assists and goals all season.
“I even imagine them combining for brilliant plays and Neymar could also help by sharing responsibilities as Juventus only has one big star now. It would be a beneficial move for the players and naturally for the club.
“With Neymar wishing to leave PSG, it will be important that a transfer is complete before deadline day at the end of the month, after all it would be tough for him to stay in France.
“He would have all the fans against him for a while and it’s never easy to be booed by your own club fans. Yep, Neymar has enough personality to handle it if necessary, and prove his value anyway, as he is a great player.”
