Father: 'Neymar will go to Europe after Brazil World Cup'

The father of Brazilian starlet Neymar has said that his son will move to Europe after the 2014 World Cup in his home country.

Spanish giants Barcelona are the strong favourites to be Neymar's next club.

"My son will close his chapter in Santos after the Brazilian World Cup and will go to Europe," Neymar's father told Globo Esporte.

Barca's South American negotiator Andre Cury said that signing the player is on the cards.

"It's the top of our list and I'll be ready to talk with Santos when they decide to do so," Cury said.

Neymar has 20 goals in 32 caps for Brazil.
