Neymar has been long linked with a move to Real Madrid and photos have emerged of the Paris Saint-Germain superstar at the Bernabeu and Real training ground.
But all is not as it seems.
Yes, Neymar really is at the Spanish giant's home and HQs in the pictures, but they are from 2005.
The Brazilian wonder kid travelled from Brazil to undergo a trial at Real when he was 13 years old, as shown in a new documentary about Neymar's life.
The 33-time Spanish champions were so impressed with Neymar during his time at the club that they made plans to including him in their famed academy for the 2005/06 campaign.
If Neymar had arrived he would have grown through the set-up with current Real first-team regular Dani Carvajal.
The images in the documentary show a fresh faced Neymar posing on a balcony overlooking the Ciudad Real Madrid training ground.
Others snap him both in and outside the Bernebeu.
One inside the dressing room sees him seated where compatriots Julio Baptista, Ronaldo Nazario, Robinho and Cicinho got changed.
Despite being offered an opportunity at Real, Neymar and his father eventually elected to stay at Santos.
Santos offered the 13-year-old Neymar a long-term contract, with the added benefits of handing extra money to his family and gifting them an apartment near their training ground.
Neymar stayed at his boyhood club until 2013, when he moved to Barcelona - where he made 186 appearances.
In 2017, the forward became the most expensive footballer of all-time when he switched to PSG for £198million.
But since then there have been almost constant rumours of a move to Real, although Barca have been linked with a stunning sway deal to see his return to the Nou Camp.
According to Catalan radio station RAC1 , the two clubs are in talks over a swap deal which could see Ousmane Dembele head the other way.
