The defender admitted to having a conversation with his young compatriot regarding the Bavarian giants, days after the Santos star made public his interest in a move to Germany

Bayern Munich centre-back Dante has revealed Santos striker Neymar enquired about the club during the pair's time together on international duty for Brazil.

Dante claimed the 21-year-old forward asked about life at die Roten, thus confirming his interest of plying his trade in the Bundesliga.

"I told Neymar there is nothing better than Bayern Munich," Dante told Sky Sport.

"I said it would be a great club for him."

Neymar, who pledged his future to his boyhood club in the short term, is also wanted by Barcelona and Real Madrid, but blew the race for his signature wide open after admitting interest in the Bavarians.

The sought-after 21-year-old is already one of the hottest names circulating around the European transfer market, after his exploits for both club and country.
