ESPNsoccernet is reporting that Brazilian stat Neymar has agreed to join Real Madrid next summer
from Santos for around £53m.
At 19, Neymar is one of the brightest talents in world football having shone for his club Santos
and also on the international stage for Brazil. Yesterday he was included on the shortlist for the
World Footballer Of The Year.

into trees falling in the forest territory.
Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez in hunt for World Footballer of the Year
award
Four Premier League players have been unveiled on the shortlist for the World Footballer of the

Yesterday, I was browsing my iPhone and stumbled across the news that Blackburn, of all clubs,
had put in an offer to sign Ronaldinho. I had to read it twice but low and behold, it's true! An

is accepted.
