Inter Milan and two unnamed clubs from the Premier League have been linked with a move for Palmeiras striker Luighi.
Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte, via FCInterNews, report that the Nerazzurri as well as possible Arsenal and Manchester City are among the suitors for the 18-year-old.
Luighi looks to potentially be the latest name on the production line of talent from Brazilian club Palmeiras.
The Brazilian top flight has certainly been a source of high-quality players. And clubs from Europe have been signing players from Brazilian teams at increasingly younger ages in recent years.
Real Madrid have led the charge with the high profile signings of players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Reinier Jesus.
And in the last couple of years Chelsea have particularly tapped into the Brazilian market.
Therefore, it is rarely a surprise to see links between promising Brazilian forwards and European clubs.
Palmeiras have made a number of high profile deals to send players to European clubs in recent years.
Perhaps the biggest transfer was that of teenage striker Endrick to Real Madrid.
However, there was also the sale of Estevao Willian to Chelsea.
And this summer, midfielder Luis Guillherme made the move to West Ham United in the Premier League.
And at that same club, Luighi has looked to be yet another promising teenage striker.
So much so that there have already been offers for the 18-year-old from clubs in Europe.
According to UOL Esporte, the most high-profile offers for Luighi have come from Serie A and the Premier League.
The Brazilian outlet anticipates that it was Inter who were the Italian team to make an offer for the 18-year-old.
And from the Premier League, UOL Esporte surmise that Arsenal and Manchester City, through the City Football Group, have sniffed around.
However, UOL Esporte note, Palmeiras have just extended Luighi’s contract.
The Brazilian clubs have tied the teenage striker down on a deal until the end of June 2028. This could certainly be an indication that he is not a young player they want to sell right away.
