The former Santos star's representative has responded to
the Portuguese attacker's agent's dig at the Barca forward
Neymar's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, believes that the
Barcelona star is on another level than Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo
was at the age of 21.
The Portugal international's representative, Jorge
Mendes, stated at the weekend that "there is no way Neymar is as good as
Ronaldo", yet the Brazilian's agent has a rather different point of view
about the supposed gulf in class between both attackers.
"Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo were born on the same
day, February 5," Ribeiro wrote on his official Twitter account.
"But at Neymar's age, Cristiano Ronaldo was a
mediocre player.
"Right now, he only surpasses Neymar when it comes
to his weight."
Neymar joined Barcelona from Santos earlier this year
after lifting the Copa Libertadores with his club in 2011 and winning the
Confederations Cup with Brazil this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo was under contract with Manchester
United at the age of 21 after leaving Sporting Lisbon in 2003.
