Brazil International team captain and Barcelona superstar Neymar has put the entire Premier League on alert after claiming that he could one day play in England.
Neymar was in England for Brazil’s friendly against Chile on Sunday night and rumor mills hit new heights when Neymar claimed that he has a long road ahead in life and Premier League is indeed in his agenda.
Statement from Neymar has put the cash rich clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United on red alert as they must have started to assess their options as to how they can sign Neymar.
Neymar was speaking to the English media and he was full of praises for his former team mate and current Arsenal player Alexis Sanchez.
Neymar said: “Alexis is a big friend, and someone who I had the privilege of playing with at Barcelona.
“We used to get along very well on and off the field, so i’m very happy to see him doing so well at Arsenal.
As far as playing in the premier league is concerned Neymar clearly hinted that he is very happy at Barcelona and aims to achieve big things with the Catalan club before making his move elsewhere.
Neymar said: “As for playing in England myself, I’m very happy playing for Barcelona and I still have a long road to walk here.“
These comments do indicate that once Neymar is done playing for Barcelona his next destination would be the Premier League and certainly English football would love to welcome one of the best players in the world right now.
