It’s been a few years since Manchester City started being linked to the Brazilian attacker Everton. And even though the talks never seemed to develop much, the rumour continues to show up every season.
Now Brazilian outlet UOL has a big article about the player, explaining his struggles before finally becoming a crucial star for his club Grêmio.
The story is told along with the interest from Manchester City, which even gets a mention in the headline. UOL says he caught attention from the Premier League club in 2013.
Manchester City proposed a trial period for Everton in England in 2014, which was rejected by Grêmio.
Then the pressure continued in the following two years.
UOL doesn’t bring any new information on the chase, but due to Everton’s great form for Grêmio, they tease with the rumour again at the end of the story.
They claim that only clubs of Manchester City’s power could afford the release clause that will come with the 22 year old’s new contract.
