But last night Neymar warned Chelsea that he will not come to Stamford Bridge untill he will have the surety to play in the main 11 squad. Santos forward Neymar, 18, has been targeted by Chelsea who have launched a £24m bid for the teenage prodigy.

Neymar said: “I don’t know if I will stay or depart but I don’t wish to leave a championship team like Santos to be placed on the reserve team of Chelsea or any other foreign team.

“It would be better to stay. I will take into consideration Mano’s advice before making my decision.”

Brazil boss Mano Menezes said: “All understand Neymar’s situation and what must be going on in his mind.

“But thinking about Brazilian football, his remaining with Santos would be beneficial. The team is on top and it would very good for Neymar to say with them for a longer period.”
