Santos striker Neymar once more commits his immediate future to the Brazilian club.

Santos striker Neymar has once more reiterated a desire to remain with the Brazilian club until at least 2014.

The 20-year-old is regarded as the best young talent in world football and has already become a key member of Brazil's international side.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are understood to lead the race for the youngster, but he has quelled suggestions that he will actively seek a move in the next transfer window.

"I have the dream of playing in Europe but I feel the right moment hasn't come. I am happy at Santos, close to my family and friends. When the right moment comes, I will leave. But I don't feel like playing in Europe now. I am not afraid. I am just happy at Santos," he told UOL.

"I don't have the goal of becoming the best in the world at the moment. I am happy and my performance is of a very high level. For me, happiness comes first."

Neymar has a contract with Santos until 2014, but is expected to move to Europe following the completion of the 2014 World Cup.
