Brazil has always been rich in talented stars, and now another 18-year-old teenager has become the target of the all-European giants. Real Madrid and Manchester City have already taken the lead in an attempt to sign Santos youth prodigy Pattati, whose severance payment has been as high as €100 million. Will Pattati be the next Ronaldo-esque superstar?
Patati was born on February 11, 2003, and just turned 19 in February this year. He currently plays for Brazil giants Santos' Under-20 youth team and has yet to play for the first team. But despite this, Pattati still triggered a frenzy of many European giants. He is considered Brazil's most promising teenage talent, and despite being only 1.73 metres tall, Pattati possesses dazzling techniques and has performed well in both the Santos youth team and the Brazilian youth national team at all levels.
Pattati is extremely fast and very good at dribbling past people. He is best at the front and can also play the winger position on both sides. Some Brazilian experts even believe that Pattati is expected to become Brazil's most famous superstar after Ronaldo, the leader of the next generation of samba legions! Compared with Rodrigo and others who have already landed in Europe, Pattati has more high hopes, and it is only a matter of time before he joins the European giants.
Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid and Manchester City have begun to compete for Pattati, and Santos has long seen his value, and has buried a termination clause worth 100 million euros in the contract. To be treated like this, Pattati is unique. Even if giants like Real Madrid and Manchester City have money, will they really spend such a high transfer fee for him? After all, Patati is still just a piece of jade.
From the current situation, Pattati is closer to Real Madrid. After all, the labour certification issues in the Premier League are more complicated, and if he joins Manchester City, Pattati may be loaned to other teams first. But Real Madrid will still need to spend a lot of money on Mbappe and others in the future, will they throw 100 million euros in liquidated damages for Pattati? Whether Santos can relax and reduce prices may be the most critical factor for Pattati to travel to Europe's top five leagues as soon as possible.
