Manchester United and Chelsea target Bruma saw his Premier League dream bite the dust as a loan bid from Merseyside outfit Everton was turned down in the summer. However the player’s agent has clarified that his client wants to play in the top flight of English football sooner rather than later. Both United and Chelsea had a chance to sign the 19 year old last summer but it was Turkish side Galatasaray who steeped up their interested and snatched the player from Sporting Lisbon.
The report from English Tabloid EXPRESS however have claimed that it is only a matter of time that the youngster dubbed as the ‘next Cristiano Ronaldo’ gets his wish and plies his trade in the Premier League. the story goes on to mention that Bruma would been playing Sunderland last season were it not for an ill-timed injury.
Bruma is an exciting young prospect who in indeed very versatile given his quality to play on either wings or just off the main striker up front. His immense workload and raw pace would certainly take the Premier League in storm as his abilities have drawn comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The player’s agent Marco Kirdemir claimed recently that Everton were looking for a short term deal which Galatasaray rejected as they wanted to sell the player on a permanent deal. Kirdemir said, “This summer Everton and Monaco wanted Bruma on loan, they had been keeping tabs on him for a while. Everton were very keen on signing Bruma, however, Unal Aysal was not prepared to loan him out.”
“It wouldn’t be a surprise if more offers were made this season, he will be playing Champions League football and is bound to impress. I can see Bruma playing in the Premier League in the future.”
Should Bruma however make the move to Chelsea or United next term, he wouldn’t be assured a starting eleven spot given the plethora of talent both the sides have at their disposal in midfield. Chelsea have already loaned out several players this season and should the Blues sign Bruma, one would definitely see a loan move to a fellow Premier League club materialize.
