Highly-rated Brazilian striker Neymar has admitted that Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keeping tabs on him, but underlined he has not yet agreed to terms with either side.
The 19-year-old Santos star has emerged as one of the hottest commodities on the transfer market and has long continually been linked with a move to Spain's big two.
"Real Madrid and Barcelona have come calling for me. Both clubs want me," Neymar told AS.
"I can confirm it, but I have not reached an agreement with any of them.
"The interest from Spain's big two means that my self-esteem is very high because I am being followed by two big clubs like these."
