    By Tatiana Ramil FORTALEZA, Brazil (Reuters) - Neymar, inspired by the protest movement which has swept Brazil in the last few days, gave possibly his best performance for his country in a 2-0 win over Mexico in the Confederations Cup on Wednesday. The Barcelona-bound 21-year-old, who has often struggled at international level despite his billing as the next great Brazilian player, set the hosts on their way with a stunning volley in the ninth minute, the second game in a row that he has got …

Real Madrid are set to offer Alvaro Arbeloa, Esteban Granero and Raul Albiol new contracts, according to reports emanating from Spain.

Marca claims that Los Blancos president Florentino Perez will accompany the team during the club's pre-season tour of the United States for the first time to handle the renewals in person.

Arbeloa and Albiol's contracts both expire in 2014, and it is believed that everything is set for them to add two more years to their respective deals.

Granero's situation, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated. The 25-year-old has been on the fringes of the action at the Santiago Bernabeu and has been linked with Spanish and English clubs.

Jose Mourinho is understood to be interested in keeping Granero in the squad, but with Luka Modric a priority for the coach, the Spanish midfielder could find himself further down the pecking order.
