Neymar to Bayern is a done deal, claims former Santos official

Former Santos official
Vicente Cascione has
claimed that Neymar
will leave the club for
Bayern Munich in the
summer transfer
window to link up with former Barcelona
coach Pep Guardiola .
Barca are believed to be sitting in pole
position to sign the 21-year-old, with the
Brazil international having planned a trip to
Catalunya after the Confederations Cup to
discuss a potential transfer, while Real
Madrid are also closely monitoring the
attacker's situation.
However, Cascione has insisted that
Neymar will move to the Bundesliga
instead and has already wrapped up a
transfer to the Allianz Arena.
"I have this information first hand. Neymar
has signed for Bayern Munich. It's already
a done deal," Cascione wrote on his blog.
"I am not speculating here. This
information is irrefutable. From August this
year on, the player will be part of Bayern's
squad.
"So his next destination will not be Spain,
like many expected. He's not going to
Barcelona or Real Madrid. He will go to
Germany."
However, Bayern were quick to move to
deny the rumours, with club spokesman
Markus Horwick telling T-Online: "This is
complete nonsense. There's absolutely no
truth in this claim."
Neymar has a contract with Santos until
after the 2014 World Cup and his current
club have so far insisted that he will not
leave this summer.
Nevertheless, the attacker is keen to test
himself in Europe and could be tempted to
leave Santos this summer under the right
circumstances.
