Real and Barca chase Brazil starlet Neymar

Santos teenage star Neymar has become one of the hottest properties in the transfer market with La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid vying for his signature.

The Liga duo have been strongly suggested as the likeliest destinations with the 19-year-old Brazil starlet confirming that both clubs are keeping a tab on him.

However, Neymar insisted he has not yet agreed to terms with either side.

“Real Madrid and Barcelona have come calling for me. Both clubs want me, I can confirm it, but I have not reached an agreement with any of them,” he told AS after Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Ghana in an international friendly in London on Monday.

“The interest from Spain’s big two makes it that my self-esteem is very high because I am being followed by two big clubs like these.”

Neymar’s father said on Monday that the 19-year-old is only considering switching clubs at the end of the European season, rather than in January, which is what had been suggested on several occasions during the transfer window.
