The agent of Neymar has confirmed talks with West Ham United over the Santos dazzler.
West Ham made their ambitious for Neymar earlier this week when they lodged a bid of just over £12million.
Santos immediately responded by declaring that they had no intention of selling Neymar, who is one of the most sought after young players in the world.
And despite not agreeing terms, the player's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, has confirmed that he has already held talks with the East London outfit.
"I had a long talk with the leaders of West Ham via a video conference," Ribeiro told Terra Brazil.
"My obligation as agent is to pass on the information to the player's family.
"The negotiation with Santos is another case [for West Ham], and that is not for me."
Brazilian sources claim that a bid of closer to £20million could be enough to land Neymar, and they are now braced for West Ham to make an offer around that figure.
