Santos chief reveals stance on Neymar transfer amid Barcelona & Bayern Munich links

Santos president Marcelo Texira Neymar described as “happy”, “Bahija” and – repeatedly – “committed” to his Brazilian childhood, despite increasing speculation about a transformation To Europe.

Neymar returned to Vila Belmiro during the winter window after a fatal talisman in Al Hilal, and cast a short -term deal until June 30. A serious injury in the AFC Champions League was taken out of 18 months in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but its quick start in Brazil has pushed admiration for glasses from all over the continent.

Barcelona was closely linked to the former wing, while Bayern Munich giants also appeared as a sudden speech. However, Santos is very keen to expand the current contract of Neymar.

“The most difficult part has already ended, which was here,” said Texeira Marca this week. “We will see the club’s technical response and its results. We are working to care … It has already shown that it is not worried about the financial side.

“The entire technical committee accompanied him in his matches; everyone supports Santos, the entire country. This will affect the possibility of staying here in the near future. The national team has contacted him.”

TEIXEira twice repeated that Neymar is “committed to the project” in Santos and praised the abundant playmaker as “happy, he is happy, focusing on being an important factor in Santos.”

The financial motivation does not seem to be the specific factor of Neymar – which has been leading deadly wages from the richest teams of the world over the past decade. Teixeira confirmed that Santos was unable to match any of the economic offers that Neymar received from clubs outside Brazil, describing the player’s decision as a “issue of feeling”.

In terms of emotional clouds, there is a clear attraction for Barcelona. Teixeira insisted that Santos still has a “very healthy relationship” with Spanish league leaders despite the legal complications that arose from Neymar’s transfer to Catalonia in 2013. Neymar has already found the network three times.
