Ladies and gentlemen, meet 16-year-old Reinier Jesus, the latest Brazilian wonderkid to catch the eye of European football's biggest clubs.
Jesus, who currently plays at Flamengo, has impressed on a number of occasions for the academy team and has been linked with various clubs, including Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus and Roma.

The above are keen to bring the talented attacking player to their respected clubs but Los Blancos seem to have the advantage following the recent captures of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes.
t's easy to see why there is so much hype surrounding this lad. Just check out his highlights on YouTube.
Liverpool are another club who are keen on his signature, according to Flamengo's former club president, Kleber Leite via Anfield Edition.

"I received certain information that the English club, who were monitoring the young Flamengo and Brazilian midfielder Reinier, 16, have already started negotiations with the boy's family."
"In the chest and in the race, our young values are being erased prematurely, without even being able to write a page that is in the history of the Brazilian club that put it in the world of the ball."
"Reinier will probably have another two years as a Flamengo player. Very little. Sad..."
Jesus currently has a contract at Flamengo until 2021 but a buy-out clause of €70 million is reportedly included in his deal if a big club want to come and snatch him away from the Maracana.

The talented forward turns 17 in January and is being promoted to join the U20 squad.
He also scored two impressive solo goals in the Copa Do Brasil final last week. A sign of things to come.
Remember the name.
