The Catalan club is hopeful of bringing Neymar to the Camp Nou
after the London Olympic Games although it is unlikely he will move
before the 2013-2014 season, Brazilian website Intereconomia reported.

The 20-year-old is currently contracted with Brazilian club Santos until the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Barcelona
is understood to have made a down-payment for the star which guarantees
his transfer to the reigning FIFA Club World Cup champion.

News
of the deal follows calls from former Brazil international strikers
Ronaldo and Rivaldo for Neymar to join a European club to fulfill his
potential.

The reported deal ends the hopes of Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid, which have also expressed their interest in the starlet.

The deal is the third biggest transfer fee in the history of the sport
