Chelsea are battling Juventus for Santos superkid Neymar.

The People says Chelsea are facing a £32million battle with Juventus for Brazilian wonder boy Neymar.

The exciting Santos attacker was a target for Carlo Ancelotti in the last transfer window but Chelsea would not pay the fee, even though the player was keen to move.

Neymar was fined and dropped after an on-the-field outburst but last week returned against Corinthians. The fact Juventus scouts knew he would be playing shows the Italians have the edge over the Blues.

The Serie A side have opened talks with 18-year-old Neymar's representatives and look to do business in the New Year.

Chelsea are keeping a close eye on the situation because Neymar would be eligible to play in the later stages of the Champions League.
