Abramovich convinced Chelsea can wreck Barcelona plans for Neymar

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich believes he can rumble Barcelona plans for Santos star Neymar. The People says Neymar has been sensational for Brazil during the Olympics.

All of Europe's top clubs are on his trail, but so far no one has come up with the £50m it is believed will be needed to prise the youngster away from Santos.

Barcelona have a pre-contract with Neymar, which includes a penalty clause should he go elsewhere, but there is a belief the agreement isn't recognised by FIFA - so opening up the race to rivals like Real Madrid and Chelsea.
