Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to meet Santos’ buyout clause for Neymar.
The Daily Star Sunday claims Chelsea have won the race to sign the samba star with Real Madrid buckling over the excessive transfer fee. Chelsea assistant-boss Roberto Di Matteo watched Neymar score for Brazil against Germany last week and was full of praise for the youngster. A source at the club said:
“Roberto was suitably impressed by what he saw. The kid’s a real talent.
“Real Madrid were serious about signing him but, for one reason or another, that deal broke down.
“Money talks and with a £40million offer on the table, Neymar could be a Chelsea player soon.”
