Interviewed by Cadena COPE, Neymar Santos, father (and advisor, as well) of Barcelona FC and Brazilian NT star winger/forward Neymar (24), stated, attempting to go for a groundbreaking way (and possibly getting an even higher salary for his son): "There are many top European clubs interested in signing him, not just Real Madrid. Anyway, even if Merengues frontline is incredibly good, since they've got some of the best players worldwide, I think Barça's one is even stronger, at least for the time being".
