Here's a link of Neymar being quoted as choosing the capitol side. There were reports of Neymar having been seen on holiday in the Spanish capital with Pepe and Marcelo (they both play for Madrid). I think he'd fit in well with any of the big European clubs.

Agent backtracks on Neymar to Real Madrid confirmation but believes a deal is close:
Ernesto Bronzetti has backtracked on claims that Neymar's transfer to the Spanish giants is finalised but believes the move to Jose Mourinho's squad is inevitable.Agent Ernesto Bronzetti has backtracked on claims Santos forward Neymar has signed for Real Madrid, but says he still believes the move will go ahead.

Bronzetti had told Sky Italia the move was "practically done" and that the Brazilian would be arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu on a five-year contract, but has now said those remarks were hasty."I was called by an Italian television station [Sky Italia] and they asked me. I told them the only thing I knew was what I had seen on a website, that it was almost done," the agent told SportYou.

Reports in Brazil claim Madrid will pay €40 million to sign Neymar, who is expected to earn €2m per year.

[D1RoseJM]

Lol 2m a year. He gets about 10M in brazil

[NJ Raven]

I don't believe any of the Neymar rumors until he legit puts on the shirt of his next club.
