Chelsea
will have to battle Spanish giants Barcelona if they are to stand a
chance of landing Brazilian sensation Neymar, according to the Daily

The
Express claim that Chelsea will go head-to-head with La Liga giants
Barcelona for the Brazilian ace, who has been mulling over whether to
move to Europe or remain in Brazil for the time being.
Barca
vice-president Jose Maria Bartomeu has confirmed the clubs intention to
try and lure Neymar to the Nou Camp this summer after the Olympics.
Speculation has been rife in Spain that Neymar will end up in Catalonia
when he does decide to leave him homeland, and it seems Barca would like
the deal to happen sooner rather than later.
But
the Express claim Chelsea won’t give up without a fight and are willing
to do all they can to bring the Brazilian striker to Stamford Bridge,
while Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on the players situation.
