At the moment Neymar is impatient with reporters who asked about a proposal from Chelsea to sign him, denying that he had received an offer, his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, detailing the terms of what was offered to the family of the player for the club run by Russian Roman Abramovich. The agent has confirmed it is in America with the father of Neymar, Neymar dos Santos Silva, where, last Monday, he dined with representatives of the English club.
The agent states that in terms of projection of career and of course financial, the best alternative to Neymar is to accept the British offer.

"If Santos are only to give a raise to the Neymar it's useless. He needs projection in his career. We want him to be elected best player in the world," said in an interview with Radio Globo.
When talking about salary increases for Neymar, the agent is referring to a meeting there next Tuesday, at Vila Belmiro, between parents and the board of the player from Santos. The Alvinegro want to submit a career plan for the youngster to be able gain projection even without leaving Brazil. Ribeiro, however, does not believe in this.
"The possibility that Neymar be chosen the best in the world playing in Brazil is zero. We have the best players but we do not have a championship level. Now, who will decide everything is the boy with his family."
