Neymar, Brazil’s most marketable soccer player, is on the verge of leaving for Europe after his team Santos last night accepted two offers for the striker.

Santos had been in talks with officials from Spanish champion Barcelona, which wants the 21-year-old to move to Europe and join world player of the year Lionel Messi in its attack next season. Reports in local media said Santos had also agreed a fee with Real Madrid.
