London: Chelsea have been warned by the agent of Brazil starlet Neymar that the the world's biggest clubs are chasing the striker and that he will not leave Santos for less than 41 million pounds.
According to Neymar's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, Chelsea have already had a 32 million pounds offer rejected by the Brazilian club last year.
Ribeiro told The Sun: "Last year Santos received an offer of 32m pounds from Chelsea and it was rejected - now he would not leave for less than 41m pounds."
With Chelsea already strongly linked with a move for Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku, the acquisition of Neymar would seemingly call for a big dip into the pocket of Blue’s owner Roman Abramovich, but would represent sound investment according to Ribeiro.
"Neymar is like Messi," he claimed.
"Soon he will be the best in the world because he is a player unlike any other. He is just 19 but all the big clubs are following him."
The youngster rose to international prominence when scoring after just 28 minutes of his debut for Brazil against USA and then adding two more to his international tally against Scotland on British soil at the Emirates.
