South American football expert Tim Vickery has told the likes of Talksport and Sky Sports news that Stantos forward Neymar, who is a Chelsea target, is in no rush to leave his current club.

Rumours circulated yesterday that the Brazilian had signed a deal with Real Madrid, but it could be that neither Real nor Chelsea will secure his services this summer.

Vickery says that the player is happy where he is and currently happy where he is and concentrating on the Copa Libertadores, the first leg of which kicks off tonight, and believes that Neymar would fancy a crack at the World Club Cup and the chance to take on Barcelona should Santos win the Libertadores.

Would seem logical from his own point of view if Neymar stays where he is for now, but many will hope to see him in Chelsea blue in future. Should the Blues be thinking about an alternative for the moment?

    If this is true, than all i hope is Chelsea can still stike a deal with Santos, were they buy him and loan him back to Santos for one more season. I like many CFC fans thought the deal to Madrid was done after yesterdays news. If no deal has been done i can only hope Neymar is choosing Chelsea rather than Madrid. We still hope thou he will be wearing the blue of Chelsea come the start of the new season.
    CFC For Life!!!

    Agents always put up prices and play down interest in order to position themselves better for bargaining. The final price will probably be around 35m, but it’s unlikely to come from Real Madrid while they still have C. Ronaldo (who would overshadow Neymar at this stage). Neymar is interested in Chelsea; if he claims to be indifferent someone should ask him if his ears are hearing what his mouth is saying. Neymar has said he is keen on Chelsea on numerous occasions, the last time being when Brazil played Scotland this year. He did come close to a move last summer, and I am sure he will be more interested this year. He is at the age when he needs to do something if he wants to be a world impacting player. One thing is for sure, he needs to leave Brazil. He is losing out on the precious experience that his compatriots Luiz and Ramires are getting. If Neymar is really serious about furthering his career outside Brazil, he needs to think how he can assist the team that wants to buy him. He needs to make it possible for them to get him. If he really wants to move to Chelsea, there is little Santos can do about it. It never benefits a team to keep a player that wants to be somewhere else. Liverpool realized this recently with Torres. I think Neymar does have the potential to become the world’s best player (another Messi), but he has to move out of Brazil to do it. The English Premiership is the world’s best league; it certainly gets the world’s best TV coverage, and now days TV coverage is everything. Chelsea has the money, and has shown the interest. The decision belongs to Neymar, not Santos. But he needs to move now.

    I honestly cannot see him coming to us. If I were a betting man it’d be Madrid who he has also said it would be a dream to play there, or Barca.

    I just can’t see him picking England over Spain
