Today’s edition of A Bola called him a ‘Genius’ on their front page, hype is really building.The 19-year-old has been pretty impressive this season and has been linked to European giants for a few months now, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him moving in the summer, although he’s currently protected by a €120m release clause.
Scouts from Everton and Feyenoord were present at the Estádio da Luz as well, but the Toffees’ target isn’t revealed by the newspaper.
