Brazil's Neymar to sign with Barcelona

Brazil's gifted World Cup hope Neymar is moving to Spanish champion Barcelona, the striker said on Saturday, and will sign a contract on Monday.

Neymar chose Barcelona over its Spanish rival Real Madrid after Santos ended three years of resisting offers for the 21-year-old forward and let him go before next year's tournament in Brazil.

"On Monday, I'm signing a contract with Barcelona," Neymar said on his Instagram page.
