Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Palmeiras left-back Marcus Vinnicius.
The 17-year-old is highly rated in South America and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Tottenham are keeping tabs on his development and they could look to make a move for him soon.
According to a report from PL Brasil, Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on the talented young defender. However, it is Tottenham who are currently leading the race to sign the defensive prodigy. The player is expected to sign a professional contract with Palmeiras soon and his new deal will include a £85 million release clause.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the talented young Brazilian defender in the coming weeks. The North London club have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players and they have brought in top-class prospects like Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, and Micky Van de Ven in recent windows.
The Brazilian would be a long-term investment for them and he could develop into an important first-team player for the club with the right guidance. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite attractive for the player as well. However, it is highly unlikely that any club will trigger his £85 million release clause when the new contract is signed. Palmeiras will have to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.
Meanwhile, Newcastle and Wolves are keeping tabs on his development as well and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign the player.
