Manchester United and Chelsea are one of the sides ‘interested’ in Flamengo youngster Lorran as he continues to rise in Brazil.
That’s according to scout Marco Palma, who has this week appeared on Tuttomercatoweb radio and picked out the 18-year-old as one of two players to keep an eye on.
The show was focused on the Copa Libertadores, which was this year dominated by Brazilian team as Botafogo beat Atletico Mineiro 3-1.
It was a tournament largely dominated by the Brazilian sides as they beat each other in the earlier rounds before their one country finale.
Palma was watching throughout, and it seems he was left impressed by what he saw from Lorran, who only managed four games totalling 20 minutes in the tournament but still bagged an assist.
According to him and TMW, both Chelse and Manchester United are ‘interested’ in the forward, who is valued at €12m at this moment in time.
They describe the youngsters as a trequartista with a ‘superfine technique’ and a ‘very educated’ left foot. He loves dribbling, is precise shooting from outside the box and combines ‘great quality with excellent dynamism’.
These are all qualities that both Chelsea and Manchester United have noticed and they are both ‘interested’ in the player for the future.
This is the first time the Blues have been named, although United were earlier this year and that was later rubbished after a report suggested he could be swapped for Antony.
Either way, both of the Premier League sides are apparently in the mix as Lorran continues to earn admirers in Brazil with his performances.
