Roman Abramovich set to bring Neymar to Chelsea as Ramires and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 shine at Stamford Bridge
Recent reports reveal that English Premier League giants Chelsea are willing to spend £23 million to bring in Brazilian striker Neymar to Stamford Bridge in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Blues have been chasing the 19-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 striker since last year, with Neymar rejecting a move to the Premier League side.
Since then he seems to have changed his mind, admitting he would like to play for an English Premier League side.
He went on to say that he had visited London and had found it very beautiful; he claimed he would not mind moving there on a more permanent basis.
Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti failed to lure the youngster to the London side, which is why http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 owner Roman Abramovich has taken the task upon himself.
A source close to the club revealed:
“Roman is ready to get personally involved to clinch the signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 and he is aiming to talk to him next month to prove how much he is wanted.”
The Russian billionaire is set to spend the summer trying to convince the Brazilian wonder-kid to make a move to Chelsea.
With most of the Blues’ strike force above 30 years, they could definitely use some younger player, which is where Neymar comes in.
Despite being so young, Neymar has a highly impressive goal tally for both club and country, which has increased his demand with the top European sides.
The 19-year-old forward has scored 3 goals in 3 appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 and has found the back of the net 65 times in 132 appearances.
Apart from Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are also keeping an eye on the extremely talented striker.
Neymar would fit in well at Stamford Bridge, seeing as how the recent Brazilian arrivals are doing. Both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramires-c30523 and David Luiz have done very well this season.
Brazilian midfielder Ramires arrived last summer and despite a poor start went on to do better than the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097.
The 24-year-old David Luiz, who arrived in the January transfer window, made an instant impact for the Blues, scoring against Manchester United on his debut.
Luiz could not feature for Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League, since he was cup-tied, having previously played with Benfica in the European competition.
The young defender more than made up for it with his spirited performances in the Premier League. He was easily one of the best players for the Blues in every fixture he featured in.
His natural partnership with Chelsea skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 in central defense has led to his praise and belief that the Blues have found the solution to their defensive problems.
Luiz himself reportedly urged fellow Brazilian Neymar to join Chelsea, believing the London club would suit the striker as well as it had suited him.
Neymar claimed he was currently focused on the upcoming Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 and would decide about his future after the tournament.
