Real Madrid has heavily invested in signing young Brazilian talents such as Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes and Reinier Jesus Carvalho who is currently playing at Real Madrid Castilla.

Philippe Coutinho is the club’s record signing who was sent on loan after just one season and now the club does not even want him back, Malcom was another talent that was wasted on the bench only to be sold the next season, Ousmane Dembele has had an insignificant spell at the club as he has spent most of his time on the sidelines. The long list of failed transfers never seems to end at Barca and now the club considers changing their philosophy.
Don Balon claims that the Blaugrana received a phone call from Sao Paolo to scout a young talent who is rising amongst the ranks at the Brazilian club. The player that Barcelona considers signing is Gustavo Maia who is considered as the next Vinicius Junior.
The 22-year old made his first-team debut this season with the Brazilian club as he looks forward to securing a starting eleven spot. The Brazilian is fast and has the skill to take on defenders using both his feet comfortably.
Josep Maria Bartomeu and his team plan on letting the player progress in Brazil and in the near the future they would sign the player just like they did with Neymar Junior.
