Barcelona Transfer News: Neymar Bid Rejected
Sky Sports, Quotes from the Vice-Chairman of his current club Santos reveal that this season's La Liga champions Barcelona have been the first to bid for the forward. Odilio Rodrigues said of discussions between Santos and Barcelona:
We had a very frank conversation. Talks need to continue because the offer was not good enough."The quotes are set to put Europes elite on red alert with The Express linking Chelsea and Manchester City to the player this week. Neymar has 20 goals in just 32 appearances for Brazil so far in his career and at just 21, he has a huge future and is already considered one of the best potential footballers in the world. Signing Neymar would be a huge coup for whichever club got him as signing the player would not just give them a superstar but would put one over on their European rivals. Whoever gets him though, will have to battle hard with Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich all interested in the player. Rodrigues also went on to admit that they are expectant of a bid from Real Madrid also:
"We know Real Madrid will make an offer too."With Barcelona the first out the traps in the race for Neymar, the pursuit of the Brazilian is finally underway but where he ends up is still anyones guess.
