The Brazilian youngster has expressed his appreciation for the two star players and has stated that he wants to learn from both.
The Santos forward did not pick a favourite as he voiced his admiration towards both, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian international remarked that the two men are at the top of their game and he would love to be mentored by them, hence
labelling them both as his idols.
It is believed that the youngster could have hinted towards his future and hence he has maintained that joining Real Madrid or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are both on the cards for him.
The future of the Brazilian has been under the spotlight for quite a while now. The striker was brought forward as a talent in the summer transfer window prior to the start of the current season’s campaign, with a number of clubs across Europe trying
to get hold of his signature.
Widely believed to be the most talented youngster in the world, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona.
However his price tag imposed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 constrained the clubs from acquiring his services.
In addition to this, the forward also renewed his current contract with Santos earlier this season, his new contract binding him to his native country until 2014.
However, even after a new contract has been signed, speculations and rumours regarding his future continue to circulate and the player seems to be enjoying all the attention that he is receiving so far.
Many believe that by mentioning http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and Lionel Messi, the Brazilian may have hinted towards a future in the Spanish La Liga.
In an interview with Globoesporte, the 19-year-old stated:
“I have both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as my idols. If I can take a little of each player's game and make it my own, I would be very happy"
"There are players that try to imitate others, but at free-kick time it is a personal thing. Every person has their own technique and routine when they stand over the ball and I have mine, I am not trying to copy anyone."
With several attempts made by both Spanish giants in order to land the youngster, it will be interesting to see where the prolific forward finally ends up.
