According to Neymar"s adopted brother, Jo Amancio, the Santos star will make a big money move to Europe in the near future, with Real Madrid or Barcelona his likely destinations.

Neymar has been courted by many of Europe"s leading clubs and Manchester United were believed to have made a late bid for him during this summer"s transfer window, but Amancio, who lives with the 20-year-old, see"s his sibling moving to Spain.

He said: “"I do not know if he will play for Barcelona or Real Madrid, both teams are very good, the best in the world and he will soon come to Europe."

Amancia also stated that Neymar would have no trouble excelling in Europe.

“I think Neymar would be the highlight [in any league] as he is in Brazil. I do not think he will have problems in that regard. He is a very skilled player, a phenomenon," he added.

It is believed that Neymar has committed to Santos until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but if rumours are to believed then he may make a move to Europe before that.

This comes a few days after Neymar"s coach at Santos, Muricy Ramalho, said he would advise the player to move away, as he feels he is increasingly becoming a target for opposition players and referee"s looking to make a name for themselves.
