The 19-year-old Santos star is one of the world's most sought-after players, with the Spanish rivals just two of the numerous clubs clamouring for his signature.

Chelsea and Manchester City have also been linked with the teenager but his agent says Real and Barcelona are the only two clubs to have made formal approaches for striker.

He told reporters: "Santos reported no problem in Real Madrid and Barcelona paying (the asking price).

"Madrid want Neymar now, while Barcelona can wait another year.

"The two made their proposals, the numbers are good, but the decision is not mine, or the club's. The decision is Neymar's.

"We will not review the proposals until after the Copa America. It is not time for the kid to worry about this.

"He's going to analyse everything after the competition and tell us what he wants."
