Santos president: I cannot believe Mourinho does not want Neymar at Real Madrid

Santos president Alvaro Luis Santos de Oliveira Ribeiro is convinced Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho wants to sign Neymar.

Ribeiro has dismissed claims Mourinho is not interested in his star man.

Ribeiro said: "The strange thing would be to say that Mourinho is not interested in Neymar, since in that case he would be shortsighted."

"To say you do not need Neymar is crazy talk."

"Any well-run team, which has good coaching staff wants to have this player."
