Neymar has Champions League hope

Brazilian star has given another indication that he may be heading to Europe soon, by stating that he dreams of playing in the Champions League.

The Santos striker has been heavily linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, as Jose Mourinho looks to further bolster his attacking options.



Neymar, who has scored three goals in five appearances for the Brazil national team, is trying to stay focussed on the task ahead with his current club, as the speculation hots up.



Santos are preparing for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final against Penarol and he insists all he is thinking about is "winning" the trophy.



When asked about his future, the 19-year-old told AS: "My first thought is to stay here (at Santos) as well because happiness is everything, for the club, for my family, for the fans... the most important thing is to be happy."



But the Brazilian club will find it tough to reject a big offer from one of Europe's top clubs and the teenager is clearly tempted by the prospect of playing in the world's top club competition.



When asked, Neymar added: "Of course, it is a dream, just like it is for all the players in the world. To play in that competition is a privilege and I hope to do so one day. I want to play in World Cups and play in the best leagues."



Neymar's hero is former Real and Manchester City forward Robinho, who he has spoken to for advice during their time with the national team.



The youngster claims Robinho has had "very good things" to say about his time in Europe, especially on his spell in Spain.
