A wonderkid who has caught the eyes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona has reportedly decided on his future.

Liverpool had a quiet summer transfer window as Federico Chiesa was the only new addition brought in by Arne Slot, with Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining from La Liga side Valencia before the 25/26 season.

Despite the lack of new players, Liverpool have had a fine start to life under Slot as they currently sit top of the Premier League with an eight-point lead.

Meanwhile, United have experienced a tough campaign as they sit 15th in the Premier League, a long way off their rivals.

Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona are one of the favourites to win the Champions League after being handed a more favourable draw in the knockout stages.

All three of the above-mentioned teams are reportedly targeting the same wonderkid ahead of the next transfer window.

As reported by Team Talk, Liverpool, United and Barcelona are interested in Flamengo star Wesley Franca.

The right-back is one of the most highly-rated youngsters in South America and Liverpool are said to be keen on luring him to Anfield as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.

However, according to Brazilian news outlet Gavea News, Wesley 'dreams' of joining Barcelona despite being made aware of interest from Anfield.

In addition, Catalan outlet SPORT, via Team Talk, claimed that Barcelona are weighing up an 'official offer' for the 21-year-old.

Aside from Liverpool, United and Barcelona, it has been suggested that Zenit Saint Petersburg are also interested, with the Russians reportedly ready to make an offer of €30 million for the young star.

Wesley has so far made five appearances across all competitions for Flamengo this year, registering one assist. Flamengo will be back in action next week.
