CHELSEA have seen their hopes of landing Neymar spectacularly killed off — by the Brazil star's agent.
Blues owner Roman Abramovich was thought to have tabled a £23million offer to bring him to Stamford Bridge.But Wagner Ribeiro blasted: "This is all speculation from Britain. It is absurd.
"He does not want to, and will not, leave Santos. He is happy and focused on the Copa Libertadores."
Ribeiro has told Chelsea they would have to cough up at least £40MILLION for his goal-machine client.
Yet he insists even that eye-watering sum might not be enough to tempt Santos into selling.
He added: "Of course he will arouse interest, that is just natural because of his performances on the field — but I guarantee you there is no proposal for him.
"You have to pay £40m for him, yet Santos have to want to sell and now Santos do not want to."
