RIO DE JANEIRO, July 8 -- The 19-year-old striker Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro revealed on Friday that he has a deal in hand to take the athlete to play for Spain's Real Madrid from Santos.
Neymar is currently in Argentina while playing for the Brazilian national team in the 2011 Copa America.
According to Ribeiro, everything is in order for Neymar to sign with Real Madrid. The agent said that the only thing remaining is his client's signature.
According to Neymar's father, the athlete may consider leaving Santos after the Copa America. However, both Ribeiro and Neymar's father claimed that the athlete will only leave Santos if he is offered something close to stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonel Messi and Kaka.
