The highest scorer for post-Pelé Santos remains former centre-forward Serginho Chulapa and midfielder João Paulo, who are equal on 104 goals for the Paulista side.
Neymar would have to score 31 more goals to match the pair. However, it is possible the player may reach that mark in 2012, before his 20th birthday.
Real Madrid are willing to pay €58 million for the services of the striker but he is believed to wish to stay until at least the end of the Libertadores in the club’s centenary year.
List of Santos top scorers post-Pele:
Serginho Chulapa – 104
João Paulo – 104
Juary – 101
Robinho – 94
Kléber Pereira – 87
Guga – 74
Giovanni – 73
