The carrilero right-handed proclaimed champion of the world Sub-17 with the 'Canarinha' being one of the big stars and showing all his skills. The culés, that always walk to the hunting of young talent, went to by him and seemed to leave his very directed signing.

But when all indicated that the Brazilian went to be Barcelona, the Manchester City entrometió and left the almost enclosed operation.
