Luka Modric has become the latest Real Madrid player to try to tempt Neymar into a summer switch from Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar has been at the centre of transfer speculation after reportedly yearning for a return to Spain, less than a year after arriving at PSG from Barcelona in a record £198m transfer.
After repeated attempts from international teammate Marcelo to talk Neymar into crossing the El Clasico divide, albeit via Paris, Modric also appears to have urged the superstar forward to consider a move.
In a brief exchange after swapping shirts in the Anfield tunnel following Brazil's friendly win against Croatia, Modric could be seen saying: "We're waiting for you," prompting Neymar to laugh.

Probed about his comments by Brazilian outlet Globo, Modric replied: "Let's see what happens!"
Neymar has previously attempted to play down talk of a move to Madrid, describing the speculation as "rubbish".
