Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian football sensation Neymar says he could be persuaded to remain at Santos even after the 2014 World Cup.

Neymar was awarded the trophy of King of the Americas award for the best player in South America awarded by Uruguay`s ‘El Pais’ newspaper.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to FC Barcelona while Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris St Germain are also reportedly keen to sign the striker.

“It`s a step that I will take one day but I`m not looking for a move to Europe right now,” Neymar said after accepting the annual King of the Americas award for the best player in South America awarded by Uruguay`s ‘El Pais’ newspaper.

“For now I prefer to stay at Santos, to be with my friends and family. I have a contract until 2014 and I want to fulfil it. I could even extend it. It`s something that could be negotiated.”
