No. I'm not even the boss in my own home! There are people here who are very important to the club that help make decisions and we want to make those together. “The idea is to empower the attacking line for next season. Let's see what we can do,” he added. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/neymars-dream-of-playing-with-hazard-could-come-true-at-real/38isuuf1orw61tpj5y7d7kr06" target="_blank">Read the full story at Goal!</a>
