Santos – Chelsea refuse to pay our price for Neymar
Chelsea have told Brazilian club Santos that £45 million is too much for Neymar. The 19-year-old scored one of the goals in his club’s win over Penarol on Wednesday to help his club win the Copa Libertadores.
Neymar is being courted by both the Blues and Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid. However both clubs seem somewhat hesitant to pay such a high transfer fee for such a young player, even such a talented one.
Santos wanted to delay any negotiations until after the final and Madrid and Chelsea are now meeting with Santos officials to discuss a possible transfer. According to the Express an initial offer from Chelsea of £30 million has been turned down. A source said: “Chelsea want Neymar very much, but they will not pay the £45m Santos want”.
Meanwhile Santos president Luis Ribeiro stated: “Neymar is not for sale. We intend to commit him to Brazil for 15 years”. Although it seems his only intent is to drive Neymar’s price tag up.
Earlier this week TalkSport Radio reported that that Neymar may sign a six year deal with Madrid worth £26.75 million and that the transfer fee could be as high as £40 million. But so far no deal has been confirmed.
He’s an over priced lad
He is a tadbit overpriced but it tink he is worth about 30 million
45pounds is Too Much For his age and also Over Rated…
Neymar is good but he can never achieve playing in Brazilian League, Chelsea should forgot of him and focused Wesley Sneijder and other upcoming talent like Eden Hazard who can do much better Neymar Playing in Brazil. Chelsea should never take that risk and sign this boy above 30m or Chelsea will be names Vision less Team. Go Roman ! Go Blues !
his price tag is too much. He should even remain in brazil for the rest of his entire life . His qualities ‘ll soon start decreasing and his value reduce to zero.
Too much. Wats d probability he wont flop wen he arrives england
Chelsea should never take that Risk, Neymar is never a worth of the even 30m not to talk about amount they demand for him though He plays better, Chelsea should look at Javier Hernandez results and He was not even a worth 10m but He prove very good his first season at Man.United, we should also look for upcoming talent with a reasonable Price like Eden Hazard and stay away from Santos Mysteries ever in football History…Go Chelsea Go Roman!
30m is already too much, he ‘ll be the next SWP who was also well known as a pacy and dribbler. I suggest we should buy sanchez and aguero / hulk
Neymar’s agent, Ribeiro, recently said Neymar needs to play in Europe to become the best. This is good evidence that he feels Neymar must leave Santos. Ribeiro also spoke of Madrid because he would like to start a bidding war between Chelsea and them so Neymar goes at a higher price. It’s unlikely that Real Madrid will pay more than Chelsea; they don’t have the same spending power. And even if they could out bid Chelsea, Neymar would be overshadowed by Ronaldo. Neymar needs to be in a team where he can make his own mark. Chelsea is his best option, let’s hope Chelsea make Neymar another offer, otherwise the price on his head could keep him at Santos a long time. Neymar has the potential to impact the English Premiership like Messi impacted La Liga. The crucial thing is this: does Neymar have enough ambition to leave Brazil; or will he end up another Brazilian statistic?
30mil with addons is good.
If not, then Arda (16) and Willian(14). Two for the price of one.
Plus Modric (27) and Vanderweil (13). Some width and creativity.
Zhirkov. 9m
Bosingwa 8m
Malouda 10m
Anelka 5m
yes 45 million pounds is very expensive for an unproven player in europe but chelsea should not miss neymar signature because am pretty sure he going to be rated as the best footballer in the world. I suggest that chelsea should please try all their possible best to deliver 40 million pounds to chelsea agent pini zahavi to get this future youngster. chelsea, SIR Roman Abramovic, Pini Zahavi go and get neymar because fans are really waiting… GOODLUCK
CHELSEA JUST NEED 4 PLAYERS:
NEYMAR (creative, tricky, striker/midfielder) for Anelka or Malouda
MODRIC (creative playmaker) for Essien or Benayoun
VAN DE WIEL (tricky, fast, right wingback) for Bosingwa or Ferreira
SUBOTIC (6ft3 goal scoring central defender) phased in slowly for Terry
I would rather spend 45m on Neymar than 50m on Torres.
I THINK NEYMAR WILL HELP CHELSEA TO MUCH AT MIDFIEDER. BUT THE AMOUNT 40M, FOR HIM IS TO EXPENSE.LETS SEE HIM SLOWLY, HE WILL CAME BACK TO THE CLUP SOON
