Santos star Neymar denies penning any Real Madrid contract

Santos star Neymar denies he's agreed to join Real Madrid.

Reports in both Brazil and Spain claim Real put Neymar through tests over the weekend, with a view to signing a contract that would see him joining in the summer of 2012.

But Neymar, speaking after Santos' win over Corinthians on Sunday, says no deal is done.

"I have been sold around 30 times already," he told Lancenet.

There is no truth in those rumours. I am a Santos player and I will stay here for the club's centenary."

He also confirmed that he had been to hospital but for personal reasons only, adding: "I went to the hospital to solve a personal problem. The rumours are just speculation. There is no deal at all."
