Ronaldo Nazario has raving about his countryman striker and words have been taken into account by the white club, which has already set its sights on the young Brazilian. However, Wagner Ribeiro himself undertook to stop the rumors that place Neymar in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium: "Real Madrid has not been in contact with either Neymar or me. Nobody has called us. In addition, the boy is now focused on his club to win the Libertadores Cup, which for us is like the Champions League. We are not interested in talking about anything this in such a delicate moment in which there is much at stake", said the agent.
Moreover, after denying any contact with Madrid, Ribeiro was not surprised that the white club is interested in the player: "Neymar is like Messi. Soon he will be the best in the world because he is a player unlike any other. He is just 19 years old and all the big clubs follow him", he said.
Ribeiro also commented on the Neymar's difficulty for leaving Santos by the high cost that has the operation of his out: "Last year we received an offer of 35 million euros from Chelsea and it was rejected. Now the price has gone up and would not leave by less than 45".
What Wagner Ribeiro admitted was that Florentino Perez has a weakness for the Brazilian striker: "In 2005, Neymar spent 20 days training in Valdebebas Sports City and I know the president wanted to sign him".
