Santos reject second Barcelona bid for Neymar

The vice-president of Santos, Odilio
Rodrigues, has confirmed that the Brazilian
club has rejected Barcelona's second bid,
for their star forward Neymar.
It is looking increasingly possible, that the
attacker would be lining up along with
Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp, but Santos
are not making it easy, after they threw out
the Catalans' €20 million fee offer.
"Santos analysed
[Barca's] bid that we
received and it doesn't meet our
estimation," he told reporters. "It was not
accepted.
"We only had only one offer on the table
[previously] and the club's committee
understands that it is not what we want.
Neymar remains part of the club – he has a
contract running until 2014."
It is indeed a dicey situation, as Neymar's
current contract runs out next year and he
can leave the club on a free. However,
Rodrigues revealed that Barca's rivals, Real
Madrid, were also interested in the forward.
"Real Madrid are interested, but we only
speak about facts," he said.
