Ribeiro admitted the race for the adolescents is increasing, and suggested that their main termination clause must be met before it could consider selling Santos.
''It's not just in Madrid and many other clubs in Europe have been calling us,''Ribeiro during a press conference. No wonder''- would be strange if they wish.
''If you pay the buyout clause of € 45 million and the player wants to go, there's nothing we could do.''
However, the head of Santos hopes his team can hang on 19 years - especially if they win the Copa Libertadores.
Clubs can''talk to Neymar after the Copa Libertadores, but I'm sure if we win the title, the reasons to stay Neymar will be even stronger,''he said. ''I know it's amazing will happen, but the player will benefit more if it continues to grow here.''
