In June 2010, Santos rejected a £12 million bid from English Premier League team West Ham United for his services.[9] Neymar has also attracted interest from clubs such as Manchester United,AC Milan, Internazionale, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Juventus, with Real Madrid even going so far as to claim that they had signed a pre contract agreement with Neymar’s agent, Renato Rodrigues,[12] which Santos fervently denied.Following this, Santos placed a €30 million price tag on the player’s head, and tied Neymar down to a new contract lasting until December 2014.Neymar himself said he did not think it was time to leave Santos, and that he was entirely focused on his current club,However, Renato Rodrigues insisted that the Santos striker does not want to stay in his home country of Brazil.
