Chelsea Transfer News: Neymar Will Move To Europe Next Year, Says Father
according to his father and agent Neymar Snr. The elder Neymar said:
"My son will close a chapter in his life after playing in the World Cup here and will then leave for Europe."The Santos star has been in electric form recently, scoring 43 goals in 47 appearances last season at the age of 21. Widely considered the best young player in the world, the Brazilian has attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but it is the latter who are more likely to snap up the £50 million-rated star, according to Barcas transfer negotiator Andre Cury.
"Neymar is Barcelonas top choice, and Im currently attending all Santos games. "When they are willing to sell, we are ready to talk."That will not dissuade Chelsea, however, who remain one of the few clubs in Europe capable of affording the highly coveted youngster. Reports emerged in January that a pre-existing deal to bring Neymar to the Nou Camp was already on the table, something of which the player dismissed. Then, in March, the goal machine admitted it would be a dream to play for Chelsea.
"Chelsea's a great club, it's a dream of every player to play at Chelsea. "If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come."Chelsea are looking for a new striker to replace misfiring Fernando Torres. The Spaniard is still without a league goal in 2013. Who do you think Neymar will sign for? Let us know in the comment section, below.
