Agent: Neymar close to Real Madrid move

The agent of Santos striker Neymar insists all that is left for the player to join Real Madrid is for the transfer fee to be paid.

The Brazil wonder-boy was expected to join either Barcelona or Real Madrid this summer but Jose Mourinho's side have emerged as favourites to sign the 19-year-old.

Madrid have reportedly agreed to meet the striker's release clause of €45 million and his agent Wagner Ribeiro has revealed that his client is on the verge of being a Galatico.

"There is nothing else to talk about. The only thing left is that Real Madrid pay up," Ribeiro was quoted as saying by Marca.

"If they do it, Santos have nothing to do, other than receive their share of the transfer."

Neymar has indicated his wish to remain at Santos and play in the Club World Cup.

And Ribeiro admitted there is a possibility that the teenager will move after the tournament in December.

"Neymar also has to say when he wants to go, because it is true that he would like to be at the Club World Cup," he added.
