Neymar says he has a ‘dream" of playing for one of Europe"s biggest clubs, but only when the time is right.

The Santos star says he will bide his time as clubs clamour for his signature, with his contract at the club expiring in 2014 when the striker will be on display at the 2014 World Cup.

Neymar told reporters: “I have the dream of one day playing in Europe. Each player has his own time. Some go there when they"re young, some wait a little more.

“My time is not here yet. When I realise that the right moment has arrived, I"ll go to Europe.

“I don"t have a preference for any specific club. I like them all. I have idols in all of those teams. Picking one [between Real Madrid and Barcelona], I don"t have to. They are both great clubs. Bayern are a great club as well."

Neymar added that he feels no pressure ahead of next summer’s World Cup, in which all eyes will be on him should his form for Santos continue to sparkle in the new Brazilian season.

“I don"t feel pressured. The World Cup is almost here and I dream about winning it. I don"t think there"s too much pressure. I just want to be in it and play well," he continued.

The attacker also admitted his delight at being compared with Brazil legend Pele, as well as Barca"s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid"s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar added: “Being compared to Pele is a great honour. Pele, Ronaldo, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo… There"s no comparison to these players. They have reached a different level from all the others,"

“Cristiano Ronaldo is an excellent player, one of the best in the world. But, today, the best in the world in my opinion is Messi."
