Barcelona announced that they had reached the basis of an agreement with Santos to sign the Brazilian forward Neymar. "I am not going to wait until Monday. My family and friends now know my decision. On Monday I will sign with Barcelona." - Neymar. Neymar will go to Barça directly after Brazil's game vs England on a private jet, presented on Monday 3 June and back same day to Brazil. The manager Tito is also looking forward to this signing, “If they say Neymar is a YouTube player that is a good thing because he scores great goals and makes great plays” . .Neymar also said that Dani alves was the one persuading him all the time to join the catalan club. Neymar: "D.Alves was always annoying me, always telling me to join Barça. He made me do it! *laughs*". The fee has not been decided nor has a contract been signed. The deal is understood to be worth close to €60m (£51.3m). The 21-year-old had only one year to run on his contract and his signing means that he will not now stay in Brazil until the 2014 World Cup.
But Santos held 100% of his registration. In the end, Barcelona reportedly agreed to pay Santos and those partners around €28m, plus a further €30m to the player and close to €9m in agents' fees. A down payment of €10m had already been made in January 2011. Neymar will sign a five-year contract on a salary of €7m a season. In total, that means the package is worth more than €100m. Real Madrid was interested in signing Neymar but he said "My thoughts about playing for Barça? I want to play with the best players in the world, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta."[Globe].
Neymar departed Santos's headquarters declaring it the "happiest day of my life". Barcelona's website described Neymar as a creative attacker and goalscorer, a player of fine technique and outstanding style. "He is recognised by many and has been eulogised by Pelé, whose successor he is considered to be," it noted. The club is looking forward to this signing.
The club is struggling to sign a new GK and are hoping to tackle this problem later in the transfer period. Pepe Reina and De Gea are suitable choices. Lets wait and hope for the best. However they are also targeting the Centre Back Kompany as Pique is out of form and Puyol gets injured from time to time. Neymar has certainly solved the problem for barca upfront but the club needs some signings to go back to its golden era.
