Santos striker Neymar interested in a move to Chelsea, David Luiz urges teammate to join the Blues
Long time Chelsea target Neymar recently revealed his desire to live in London, which hints at his wish to play for the Blues. The 19-year-old Brazilian striker is undoubtedly the most exciting upcoming player and has been targeted by Europe’s elite, with
Chelsea leading the race.
His latest performance was for Brazil in a friendly against Scotland, where he went on to score both the goals to give his side a 2-0 win. He found the back of the net right before half time and then again after the break as he converted a penalty.
The friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323. Both the Italian managers are thought to have attended the match to watch
Neymar, who put up quite a show.
Even with big spending Manchester City in the race for the Brazilian international, Chelsea are still favorites to land him in the summer. Neymar himself has hinted at a move to Stamford Bridge and revealed his desire to move to London.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 revealed his dream of playing for a top European side, hinting strongly at move to Chelsea. He said while speaking to reporters, “I also want this level of team and I want to play in Europe. It is a dream which will come true but I don't know yet
when.”
However, the young striker revealed he had left the decision of his departure up to Santos despite wanting to move away at the end of the season. He continued, “It is up to Santos to decide. But here in London I could even walk in peace in the streets.”
Neymar is worth an estimated £39 million and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly willing to pay up to £30 million. Even though Neymar turned down a chance to join Chelsea in the summer, the striker has more than changed his mind and is looking forward
to a move to the London club.
Last season he was certain he would not be guaranteed first team football, with the Blues existing attacking line up. However, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Florent-Malouda-c13838 are expected to leave soon and Neymar is more confident about his
chances of first team football.
There might be some complications in the transfer as Santos have the majority of the player's shares, which is 55% and the remaining 45% are private investors. Despite the potential complications, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 have maintained their interest and are now closer
than ever to sign Neymar.
Fellow Brazilian teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542, who recently moved to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window, urged Neymar to complete the move to Chelsea. The former Benfica defender has enjoyed considerable success at his new club and is certain the
Brazilian striker will follow in his footsteps.
The 23-year-old central defender said while speaking to the media, “I am very happy, because I’m at one of the best teams in the world. I would love it if Neymar came to Chelsea. He is going to be one of the best players in the world.”
