some conclusion from Blue Tinted • The meeting went on ages (8 or 9 hours) without a break, suggesting pretty in-depth stuff. • Neymar was offered a 3-fold increase on his current salary plus a cut of image rights, mirroring the deal given to Robinho when loaned from Man City. • A long-term career plan has been generated for the player in a bid to persuade him his future lays in Brazil and doesn’t have to detract from his desire to be recognized as one of the worlds best. • A delegation of Luiz Alvaro (president of Santos), Fernando Hisses (finance director) and Luciano Underbrush (top legal aide) presented Santos’ proposal. • The meeting reached no conclusion. • Upon exit, Neymar’s father suggested the decision lays in the players hands. • Neymar’s representatives will make an announcement on Friday. • Santos and Chelsea are both now offering 3.5m euros a year salary (roughly £60k a week)
