That is why Bayern did not want Neymar
Munich - Neymar would almost land at FC Bayern in 2010. A player adviser now explains what the transfer from FC Santos to Germany failed.
For an incredible 222 million euros Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
In 2010 the Brazilian would have been available for much less money. But FC Bayern decided against a commitment.
According to the Croatian player's coach Predrag Racki, the reason for this was the required sum for the substitution, which should have been too high for the Munich players. At that time Neymar was still under contract with the Brazilian FC Santos.
Bayern and Racki were already in negotiations. "It was not possible to go further because of the price, which amounted to 18 million euros and could have increased with bonuses to 24 million euros," said the advisor of the Croatian newspaper Novi List.
Nerlinger declined the deal
Racki reported that he had been commissioned by Neymar's consultant Wagner Ribeiro in the winter of 2010 to negotiate with Bayern on behalf of the player.
Racki said, "Nerlinger, who was then FC Bayern's sports director, told me that Bayern would like to continue watching him, but he is not willing to spend so much money on a player who does not even know Is 18 years old. "

"I met Nerlinger in Munich after talking twice, he told me he knows exactly who Neymar is, one of the greatest talents in the world."
Also in 2013, Neymar was again a topic in Munich, but the bosses prefer to take Mario Götze from the BVB.
In 2010, Neymar was not worth 24 million euros. Three years later FC Barcelona beat for 88.2 million euros. And despite this mega-detachment, it still made a very good deal with Neymar.
