"Serie A is one of the greatest Leagues in the world, but for now I am very happy here at Santos."

Neymar then gave his reaction to reports that Juventus are keen to bring him to Turin.

"I know about Juventus' great tradition and the champions who have worn the black and white shirt. Zinedine Zidane is one of my idols."
