Barcelona have announced the capture of Brazilian sensation Neymar, who will sign a five-year contract with the Catalan giants on Monday.
Neymar’s current club Santos had confirmed that they had received two acceptable offers for the striker, the other thought to have come from Real Madrid, and that the decision was now in the hands of the player.
And Neymar has chosen to go to the Camp Nou.
"FC Barcelona and Santos FC have agreed to terms for Neymar da Silva Junior. The Brazilian forward will don the Blaugrana strip for the next five seasons", the Catalan giants announced.
