Real Madrid eye Vitão signing
Real Madrid are reportedly looking to the Brazilian market again, with Atlético Mineiro centre-back Vitão emerging as a potential signing.
The 18-year-old is already a regular starter for Atlético Mineiro, earning praise for his aerial ability and quality on the ball despite his young age.
A Brazil Under-20 international, Vitão has also caught the attention of Carlo Ancelotti and his staff with the senior national team.
According to Diario Sport, citing Brazilian outlet R7, Madrid are now following the young defender:
“Real Madrid have put their focus on Vitão, an 18-year-old centre-back for Atlético Mineiro and one of the great promises of Brazilian football.”
Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton have also been credited with an interest in the centre-back.
Madrid could look to their reputation for developing emerging Brazilian talent as a way to persuade Vitão to move to the Spanish capital.
