Despite Neymar being linked to Real Madrid and Barcelona, Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro does not foresee the attacker leaving the club until next year.
Undoubtedly the hottest prospect playing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Neymar has attracted attention from a host of European giants. Although he signed a new contract with Santos last year, reports have indicated that La Liga sides Real Madrid and Barcelona are favourites to land the 20 year old soon.
Although Ribeiro told Tuttosport that the club are open to listening to offers for the player, he believes Neymar will not be leaving Brazil just yet.
"He will not leave until at least next year, but we are interested in talking with the clubs that want him," he stated.
The Santos president also revealed the names of several other sides who have made contact with him regarding the forward.
"It is not just Mourinho's Real Madrid; Barcelona, Juventus, Chelsea and PSG also want him." Ribeiro shared.
