Chelsea and Manchester united are both interested in the talented 16 old Brazilian (play in Gremio). But Chelsea representatives are already there with a deal. Gremio want 20m.





 
United are not interested
 
Looks extremely gifted, but considering we can't get enough money to address core issues of the first team squad I cannot imagine we challenge Chelsea for him at that price. Chelsea also own Strasbourg, so he can go there until he's 18 and then sign 20 year contract.
 
It's okay we seem to be stacking our academy with the best talent around, not fussed by Chelsea's business. We all know they'll be loaning him out a few times and the selling for a profit.
 
Chelsea will nurture him until the cusp of breaking through to the first team. Then he’ll be sold.
 
With time I expect to see us competing properly for some of the best young talents in countries like Brazil and Argentina. Radcliffe is known admirer of what Madrid have done there with the likes of Vinicius and Endrick.

But we have too many acute issues that need addressing, and finite resources. I expect the vast majority of expenditure to be focused on players ready to contribute immediately, and then with time - as we establish a better balanced, stable and competitive squad - for us to compete more aggressively for these types of talents.

Ineos inherited a house on fire. Makes no sense to buy a new lamp before you put the flames out.

I mean we already are buying the best young talent around, for the first team and for our academy. Chelsea are buying these players for a very different purpose to us, good luck to them, it's a nice money maker for them.
 
Unfortunately, we don't seems to do a lot of deals like this. Hopefully changes moving forward.

That's if they make money from them, they're paying huge fees for these 16 year olds.
 
Are Chelsea trying to reach mid 2010's Parma and have over 100 players out on loan and 200 on the books?

Understood. We definitely have a very good recruitment strategy at youth level, as we have just seen with Chido Obi and Lusale. We’ve also spent in the past for players like Mejbri and Garnacho. Etc etc. I would, however, create almost a second category for players like this one. Players who are touted (and how accurate that is and how much of it is marketing from the club and agent remains to be seen) as superstars in the making, and are consequently demanding transfer fees more akin to established players. One would say, players who are labelled as massive or generational talents and require a contextually enormous investment at their tender ages.

Vinicius for example cost 40m I believe, at 16. And couldn’t join until 18. They also did it with Rodrygo, and Reiner. And last season similar deal for Endrick. It differs from regular youth recruitment, even at the top end most expensive level of youth recruitment.
 
Depends on how the payments are structured, we can say that we will pay them £20mil but I imagine payments would only have to start when he can actually come.over which will be 2 years from now.

Effectively you are arranging for the transfer, not completing it.

Not if hes good as people say he is he wont be sold. Both Paez and Willian will not be loaned out according to Fabrizio so maybe the same for Mec.
 
Looks very good. I reckon he’s the best of the young Brazilian wingers at the moment.
Didn’t Chelsea sign another guy from Brazil a few weeks back?
