Inter are reportedly in negotiations for Cruzeiro’s teenage goalkeeper Gabriel Brazao.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Nerazzurri have set their sights on the 18-year-old talent.

He impressed for Brazil at the Under-17 World Cup in 2017, where he was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament, and already has two caps for his country at Under-20 level.

Brazao would be sent out on loan for at least six months, so he could qualify for a Portuguese passport and by-pass limits on non-EU players.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich enquired after Napoli midfielder Allan, but were told he is categorically not for sale.

According to CalcioNapoli24, no offers have been received, because the clubs saw from the initial approach that it was a futile exercise.

The Brazilian only recently extended his contract to June 2023 and earns circa €2.5m per year.

Carlo Ancelotti slammed the brakes and put the veto on even considering an Allan departure from the squad.
