Brazilian talent Bruno Roberto is reportedly wanted by Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both in the race to sign young Brazilian talent Bruno Roberto in 2019.
Few players over the years have made the move directly from Brazil to England, with many feeling that players struggle to adjust without an intermediate move to Europe.
However, with Gabriel Jesus enjoying immediate success with Manchester City following a 2017 move from Palmeiras, and Richarlison thriving at Watford after a switch from Fluminense, more clubs may be willing to take a chance.
Now, it’s claimed that Liverpool and Tottenham are both keen on Atletico Mineiro talent Bruno Roberto, with a 2019 battle set to take place.
Chelsea and Manchester United are also linked, and Mineiro may well be inundated with offers in January or at the end of the season, with the teenager seemingly attracting huge interest.
The 18-year-old already has nine first-team appearances to his name and may well be in line for Brazilian youth caps sooner rather than later having quickly progressed with Mineiro.
City already have a strong Brazilian contingent with Jesus, Ederson, Danilo and Fernandinho, and may well hope that their presence at the Etihad Stadium can help beat Liverpool and Tottenham.
