MADRID (AFP) - Brazilian striker Neymar has confirmed his intention to move to European football, but said he would have no preference on whether he signed for Barcelona or Real Madrid.

The 21-year old has been linked with a move to both the Spanish giants and insists he is keeping his options open, although he does have special admiration for Barcelona's style of play.

"I don't have any preference. Barcelona and Real Madrid are two great clubs, each one with their own history," he told radio show El Partido de las 12.

"Barcelona have scared everyone over the past few years with their football and are without doubt one of the best teams in the world.

"It is a dream to play in Europe. I don't know when it will be. It is a decision that will be down to me and I will communicate it when I have decided."
