Chelsea are ready to blow Real Madrid away in the battle for Santos star Neymar. The Mirror says Chelsea are closing in on Brazilian teenager Neymar with a £40m bid being prepared after he plays for Santos in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores final against Penarol tonight.
Israeli agent Pini Zahavi has flown to Sao Paulo to help Chelsea complete their swoop for the South American after his club Santos turned down the initial £30m approach, with a deal expected to go through before the weekend.
Andre Villas-Boas is fully behind Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's move for Neymar.
