Race hots up for £30m Samba star

Chelsea are hoping to pip Manchester City to the £30million capture of Brazilian wonder kid Neymar this summer.


The 18-year-old who plays for Santos is tipped to be a star of the future and City thought they were in pole position to strike a deal after agreeing to loan Robinho to the Brazilian club in January.

City had first option as part of Robinho's loan deal but reports claim that Santos are struggling to meet the player's wages which could result in him returning to Eastlands.

If that is the case then the Neymar situation also changes and Chelsea could nip in and strike a deal, although Real Madrid are also in the hunt to sign him.
