Duo to battle it out for teen starlet.
Manchester City and Chelsea will go up against Beyern Munich in the race to land Portuguese starlet Bruma from Sporting Lisbon, talkSPORT understands.
The 18-year-old winger has caught the eye of some of Europe’s top clubs having broken into Sporting’s first team this season.
Chelsea attempted to bring Bruma to West London last year but the Lisbon giants managed to tie him down with a new deal.
However, the Portuguese club may be forced to sell the Guinea-Bissau born Portuguese under-19 international as their mounting financial difficulties have already forced the Lisbon outfit to offload a number of their established stars. Striker Ricky Van Wolfswinkel has agreed to join Norwich in the summer and speculation is rife over Diego Capel’s future.
Bayern are already believed to have made a £4 million bid to take Bruma to the Bundesliga, a £2 million rise on the bid Chelsea had previously tabled.
Bruma’s older brother, Buomesca, is already on the books at Fulham so Chelsea could have the upper hand as the two could be reunited in the English capital.
Armindo Tué Na Bangna, as his full name reads, has made eight appearances for the first team, scoring once, but he’s been heavily involved in the segunda team where he’s scored six times in 25 appearances.
