A new meeting surrounding the future of Neymar so far, has been unfavorable for Barcelona. Santos FC did not accept Barça’s latest offer of 20 million euros, according Globoesporte.
This was recognized by vice president Odilo Rodrigues: “Santos considered the proposal received, but it does not meet our interests. We chose not to accept it. They only had one proposal on the table and the Committee of Directors believes this is not what we want.”
The Brazilian club is aware they have to sell the player but want to do it with the highest bidder, and although Neymar desires to sign with Barca, he will try to take the best offer possible, so he is willing to listen to proposals from other clubs.
The Barca delegation formed by Raul Sanllehí and agent Andre Cury, will regroup to maintain different meetings over the next few days to try to get to a new position.

Barcelona faithful are dreaming of a Neymar arrival at Camp Nou. Fans and players alike want to see the Brazilian dress for Barca to strengthen their squad for next season.
One player who has been one of the most outspoken has been Leo Messi, who is still in Qatar fulfilling promotional events.
In an interview with Qatar Alkass Leo stressed the qualities of the Santos striker: “I don’t know if he’ll sign with Barca or not, only he knows that. What is certain is that he would be a player who brings some very different individual solutions. Of course for Barca it would be a wonderful addition. ”
Once again he mentioned his national team career with Argentina and his desire to be world champion. “All I want is to win, without thinking whether it will allow me to be the best player ever or not.”
Leo believes Guardiola will prove his worth at Bayern: “He’ll have success with any team, because of his understanding and knack for reading football games.”

21-year old Brazilian football star Neymar has been linked to many teams this season, but none more than the Blaugrana. And ex-Atletico Madrid great Juninho believes that’s the exact transaction that needs to take place.
Juninho spoke with Onda Cero pointing to recent Champions League failures as another reason Barca needs to make a move. Even though there could be a bit of a transition from Brazil to Spain, he believes it would work.
“Everyone’s saying that Neymar will leave in the middle of the year, and Barcelona have been mentioned [as his new club] all along,” he said. ”I do believe Neymar needs European experience. He will need to adapt at first because Brazilian football is a little different.
“From what I know, he might go to Barcelona, it’s what everyone has been saying in Brazil since forever. Barcelona don’t have the unity they had a few years ago, they need to bring in reinforcements.
“I think he [Neymar] would enjoy Barcelona more because of their playing style. He would fit better there.” Neymar still has a year remaining on his contract with Santos.
