Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has confirmed their interest in Santos star Neymar.
Santos insist they have no interest in selling the 18-year-old and have threatened to report Chelsea to FIFA for making an illegal approach.
Buck has confirmed the club are interested in buying Neymar, who has a £28.75million release clause in his contract, but added in an interview with TalkSPORT: "There was no tapping up from Chelsea and I want to be clear on that. We are looking at several young Brazilian players and he is one of the players we have been looking at. Whether he becomes a Chelsea player at some point, who knows?"
