Manchester United and Chelsea are among clubs interested in signing Palmeiras teenager Messinho.
The 16-year-old has yet to make his senior debut for the Brazilian outfit and has impressed at the Under-17 World Cup with three goals and three assists from four appearances.
His form has captured the attention of elite European clubs. United and Chelsea are keen on landing him alongside the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid as well as Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG have already made two offers of €40m and €50m for him, but Palmeiras are expected to hold out for his €60m release clause in order to part ways with him in the coming years.
Messinho, whose real name is Estevao Willian, won't be allowed to move to European football until the summer of 2025 when he is 18. Clubs are nonetheless keen on an advance deal.
It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will make a genuine proposal for the teenager, who has been dubbed as the next big thing in Brazil after Endrick and Vitor Roque.
