Neymar

[Santiago. 1,500]

Brazil superstar Neymar has revealed that his father is in talks about extending his current deal with Santos until 2016.

The 21-year-old is one of the most sought after players in the world, with a whole host of European clubs reportedly interested in signing him this summer, including Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona.

Santos president Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro recently admitted that it was possible the forward could stay with his club even beyond the end of his current contract in 2014.

And now the player has told the media that his father - who represents him - is in talks with the Vila Belmiro over extending his stay.

When asked by ESPN Brazil about his chances of extending his deal with Santos, he said: "Why not? Talks are underway, but they are more with my father than with me."

Could be a ploy for Santos to attract clubs to pay out every cent of his contract maybe. Predicted this months earlier that it would happen, doubt it's the case though.

I think it is a ploy to drive the price up. So much for the Barca connections. They probably have bigger plans with Gerard Deulofeu than to pay the crazy money for Neymar. I can't see him going to Bayern or City. He's got plenty of friends at Chelsea though. Make it happen Roman!

Loool, more ridiculous rumours!

[Special Juan 28,133]

Couldn't care less, this bloke and his cronies are like a circus.

Let em crack on.

Neymar really isn't worth all the hassel and controversy that surrounds him. Move on and let him become the next Robinho for all I care.

He's scared to come in Europe. he is so overrated and can only play in Brazil with shit defences

This boy is being poorly advised. Should just keep quiet and get on with it. Super talent but everyone is getting fed up with this saga

NEYMAR BECOMES COMIC BOOK CHARACTER

It’s official. Neymar is now a comic book character in Brazil.

Joining other Brazil stars who have become a reading option to children across the country - Pele, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo to name a few - the 21-year-old starlet announced the new ”Neymar Jr.” comic book on Thursday in a partnership with leading Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa.

Neymar will be portrayed as a young child with his own football-playing friends and his well-known Mohawk hair style. The first issue is called ”A Boy With Talent.”

Watch the official comic book unveiling below:

Really wonder how Brazil will view him in the next few years. A hero or a Zero.
