Former Barcelona midfielder Deco believes Neymar has the ability to reach the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Playmaker Neymar, 21, joined Barca from Santos in June in a deal believed to be worth €57million.
The gifted Brazil international has drawn comparisons with team-mate Messi and Real Madrid star Ronaldo, who are widely regarded as the two best players in the world.
And Deco, who was born in Brazil but opted to play for Portugal, believes Neymar has what it takes to become one of the greats.
"He has the potential for it, for sure," Deco told Mundo Deportivo.
"But it is a long way off. Talk about Messi, (Andres) Iniesta and Cristiano is easy because they have already grown and have arrived.
"Football is not only about quality, you have to grow."
