Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on
Brazilian starlet Douglas Costa after he received a glowing
recommendation from former Red Jaap Stam.
The Gremio midfielder, 18, has been attracting the attention of
clubs from all over Europe in recent times, with Villarreal having
an £8 million bid rejected by the Brazilian club.
However with Inter, Real Madrid and Liverpool being reported as
fans of the youngster dubbed the new Ronaldinho, his future looks
to be away from his homeland and is due to talk with interested
clubs at the end of the month, with The Premier League his
first-choice destination.
United though have reputedly sent Stam to keep an eye on the
talented rookie as he is their South American scout, and Sir Alex
Ferguson may well bid to bring another wonderkid to Old
Trafford.
Costa’s advisor Chris Nathaniel told The Sun: “The boy is
special and loves The Premier League. He has a lot of offers to
consider.”
Costa recently signed a new deal at Gremio, but has a release
clause reportedly set at £21 million.
Who cares bout this Brazilian,
when did Jaap Stam, the man-mountain, become a United
scout?!! LAWL.
