Santos star Neymar has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving his current club for Barcelona or Real Madrid in the January transfer window.

The Brazil international is continually being linked with the two Spanish giants, but Neymar has reiterated that he is happy with life at the Copa Libertadores holders, and wants to stay at Santos for now.

"At the moment, I'd say no to both Barcelona and Real Madrid," the tricky attacker said at a press conference.

"I am not thinking about leaving Santos right now. Everybody knows that it's a dream to play in Europe, but I still have work to do at this club.

"I have a contract until 2014, and intend to stay put at least until then. I don't know yet whether I'll move to Europe in 2014."

Neymar recently signed a new contract with Santos which made him one of the best paid players in the world.
