Santos star Neymar admits Ronaldinho has urged him to choose Barcelona as his next club. Ronaldinho is back in the Brazil squad this week with Neymar, who is also wanted by Real Madrid.

"I see him as an idol and I'm even kind of embarrassed talking to him because he has always been an idol for me. In some ways it still impresses me to meet him face to face," said Neymar.

"Yes, I spoke to him about Barcelona. He pointed out that it is a wonderful club with a fantastic city and an excellent climate. But these are things that everybody knows."
