Report: Neymar agrees Barca switch

Santos vice-president Odilio Rodrigues has revealed that Neymar has a "gentleman's agreement" in place with Spanish champions Barcelona.

The Brazilian side recently accepted two bids for the 21-year-old, with one believed to come from Blaugrana's rivals Real Madrid.

However, Rodrigues hinted that Neymar has already made up his mind and has decided on a move to the Camp Nou.

"When I went to Barcelona to hear the offer, I learned that Neymar had a verbal agreement that when he finished his contract in 2014 he was going to Barcelona," he told Diario AS.

"He has a gentleman's agreement. He doesn't have a contract, but a verbal agreement."

Neymar came through the youth ranks with Santos, making his debut in 2009.
