Neymar May Be Headed To The Premier League

Neymar may finally move to Europe. Even if his notoriety has reached incredible levels in Brazil, it looks like he has decided not to extend his contract with Santos. The 21 year old international will be one of the most sought after players of the summer. The only issue with Neymar is his price. Valued at 50 million pounds, the Brazilian striker will surely end up with one of the most financially potent teams in Europe. After several rumors linked him to Barcelona and Real, it seems that the young star will most likely come to the UK. The Premier League is a much more attractive place considering the great competition between the top six or seven teams.

Chelsea and City are the only probable destinations for Neymar. The Blues are in desperate need of a striker and the 21 year old Brazilian would be an amazing fit. Torres has recently complained about the fact that his lack of efficiency is due to the fact that Chelsea play a type of game based on individualities and not on team strength. Neymar is great at dealing with one on one situations as most fans have seen. He has some amazing skills and would probably score a lot of goals if he ends up on Stamford Bridge.

According to Dailymail, the rumors that emerged are the results of Neymar’s father who recently declared his son is ready to close a chapter in his life and move to Europe. Even if Barcelona had looked like they were first in line to sign the Brazilian striker the price tag may be a bit too big. The Catalans never spent so much money on a player and he would have a lot of competition at the Camp Nou to get in the team.

Chelsea, on the other hand, would be an excellent destination for Neymar. Abramovich has always been a big spender and is now determined to buy all the young talent on the market. He is more than likely to place a bid for Santos’ player especially if the Falcao deal fails.
