JOSE MOURINHO has beaten old boss Roman Abramovich in the race to sign Neymar.
The Real Madrid coach is ready to pay the �40million demanded by Brazil side Santos for their strike star, 19.
Chelsea's billionaire owner will not budge above �30m and a club source admitted: "Jose is ready to pay the asking price but Abramovich thinks �30m is a fair price for someone who's only 19 and has had injury problems.
"So it looks like Mourinho has got his man."
