AVB has come out and confirmed that he won’t be signing the Brazilian star.
For the last few seasons various Chelsea managers have been linked with singing the 20-year-old but it’thought that the player will sign for one of the Spanish giants instead.
Whilst Neymar is expected to move to Europe in the summer, AVB can’t see the player coming to London, he told the Spanish media, ““I think that the Neymar matter is closed and locked in a safe, he has decided his future and no-one knows where he will go. Unfortunately, he will not come to us.”
This will be disappointing for Blues fans, who need to see the club bring in new and exciting talent like Neymar – If he was to sign, he would make an immediate impact and be someone to get the fans off their feet.

Neymar would certainly bring an extra dimension of creativity to the Bridge. He would also be a confident striker – highly needed. But Chelsea must not be held to ransom on price, and Neymar needs to show more interest in the EPL. I think if he did decide to play EPL, Chelsea would be the team – he needs to be with Portuguese speakers, and Chelsea has an abundance.
I agree Gary, it's a real shame that it looks like we won't get him – a big blow.
