NEYMAR TO CAMP NOU

Barcelona has confirmed the signing of the 21 year old Santos super striker. On Monday Neymar will sign his 5 year contract which will keep him in Barcelona until 2018. The striker who has been with the Brazilian club Santos since he was 17 has been on the transfer news for the last two years. The club (Santos) has said that they have tried their utmost best to keep the player in Brazil by turning down a number of deals. In the last two days Santos had confirmed that they had received two offers.

Barcelona like every year is trying to improve their attack. It is clear that they want to stay the best club in the world even with the embarrassing defeats to Bayern in the Champions league and to Real Madrid in the Copa Del Ray. When Neymar joins the squad it will be strengthened for sure and it will take a lot of pressure off Messi. In the recent past Barcelona has not played well when Messi hasn’t played well. It is not sure if Messi will have great synergy with Neymar but there is one thing that is sure, with passes and plays created by Xavi and Iniesta. Neymar’s chances of scoring goals will improve tremendously. One of the negatives that Barca might face is the fact that Neymar coming into the team will reduce the starting appearances of Alexis Sanchez, David Villa, Tello and Pedro.
