Chelsea leaves the bid for Neymar

The strong interest of Real Madrid for Neymar has caused that Chelsea withdraws of the bid for the player. This would have secured a source from London team. The main reason for this retreat is that 'Blues' would not be willing to reach 45 million euros demanded by the Santos to get rid of the young Brazilian pearl.

The source explained that Roman Abramovich, owner of English club, does not raises to pay the buyout of Neymar, while Madrid would do it: "Jose Mourinho is prepared to pay the asking price, but Abramovich believes that 30 million pounds (34 million euros) is a fair price for a player who is only 19 years and with his injury history". Moreover, this source took for granted that the signing of Neymar is practically sealed by Real Madrid: "It seems that Mourinho has already gotten his man".

Neymar trainig with Santos 

It is not the first time that Chelsea can not get the services of Neymar. Last winter and in summer 2010 could not sign the player due to the high economic Santos claims. At this time although Chelsea would have sent the agent Pini Zahavito to negotiate on its behalf, have turned to crash with the high demands of the Brazilian entity.

Thus, Real Madrid would be the only club to maintain its interest in the Brazilian player. But the manager of Santos, Pedro Luis Nunes, already explained: "We have no intention to sell. If a club comes with the 45 million euros of the buyout, it will be a matter of the player". With Chelsea resigned, the choice of Madrid for Neymar becomes stronger... with the money in front.
