Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing 18-year-old Brazilian attacking sensation Kaua Elias from Fluminense.
According to a report by Ben Jacobs on Give Me Sport, Kaua Elias is gaining popularity in the market, especially among Premier League clubs. Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United are vying for the signature of the Fluminense attacking sensation. Meanwhile, the Brazilian club will demand around €30 million to part ways with the Brazilian wonderkid.
Who is Kaua Elias?
Kaua Elias is one of several teenage prospects to rise in prominence in his homeland in the last few years. The country has already produced many world-class players in the past half a decade, while Endrick, Estevao Willian, and Luis Guilherme have joined well-known Premier League clubs.
As for Elias, the teenage sensation is a native of Uberlândia and has graduated from the youth division at Fluminense. The 18-year-old made his first-team bow for Tricolor Flu Fluzao last year and has become a regular in the final third for his team. The youngster has already turned out 35 times thus far for Fluminense while chipping in with six goals and one assist.
Meanwhile, Elias’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards, with Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United vying for his signature. Meanwhile, Fluminense will demand around €30 million to part ways with the Brazilian attacking sensation.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Kaua Elias is surprising. The Red Devils already have two young and promising strikers in their first-team squad, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee having bright futures ahead of them. Nevertheless, Elias features on Manchester United’s wishlist. As for Everton, they might lose Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with both strikers facing an uncertain future at Goodison Park.
While the Toffees do not want to sell either striker in January, they must keep their options open. So, Elias is a viable target for Everton. Meanwhile, Fulham will likely delve into the market for a striker next year, even though Raul Jimenez has been hot off the blocks this season.
Everton, Fulham, and Manchester United should have the funds to afford a deal worth €30 million for the Fluminense forward. However, they will face stiff competition from other European clubs for the 18-year-old Brazilian attacking sensation, including Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli.
