Neymar Names The One Club He Wishes To Play For In The Future

Neymar has only just signed a new Barcelona contract and looks set to be at the Nou Camp for a long duration of time, meaning more wizardry produced by him, Lionel Messi and Suarez every week.

But the Brazilian, who would easily walk into any side in world football, does have plans to return to his homeland.

However, a second spell with Santos isn't the plan and instead Neymar revealed that he wants to play for Flamengo in the future - mainly because of the sheer thrill he would get from playing at the world famous Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.

Speaking after playing and scoring twice in the 'Game of the Stars' match, his third charity match in a week, Neymar said:

"If I could I would like to play for Flamengo, it would be a great honour for me to play at the Maracana.

"I would be playing there all day. It's a club I want to play for."

Neymar's quotes certainly won't go down well with Santos fans, who worshipped the 24-year old when he was tearing it up between 2009 and 2013.

And Neymar's fellow Brazilian and Barca teammate, Rafinha has also states his desire to play for Flamengo at some point in his career.

He said:

"God willing, one day, I will play for Flamengo."

Any more Brazilian Barca players fancy playing for Flamengo?
