Zé Lucas in high demand: Brazil’s U17 captain on Borussia Dortmund’s radar? | OneFootball

The U17 World Cup concluded last week with Portugal winning the title after a 1-0 victory in the final against surprise team Austria. Prior to that, the tournament in Qatar was closely watched by numerous scouts – including those from Borussia Dortmund.

On the one hand, BVB’s scouts naturally kept an eye on their own players Mussa Kaba (Germany), Mathis Albert (USA), Luca Reggiani and Samuele Inacio (both Italy), but also on some players who managed to shine. Borussia Dortmund is said to be among the many clubs interested in Johannes Moser, who may have lost the final with Austria but was able to console himself with the top scorer award.

FC Bayern and the Spanish giants also interested

Zé Lucas, the captain of Brazil’s U17 team, who lost to Portugal in the semi-finals and then also lost the third-place match to Italy in a penalty shootout, is also said to have caught BVB’s attention. According to “Globo,” Zé Lucas’ club Sport Recife is expecting an offer from the Bundesliga, although the TV station did not name a specific club. The portal “All Things Brazil,” however, reports interest from FC Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona – as well as Borussia Dortmund.

Sport Recife, who are set to be relegated from the top division, are reportedly hoping for around 15 million euros for their midfield gem. It is considered certain that Zé Lucas, who already holds a regular spot in the center despite his young age, will not remain with the club in the second division for long.

Since Zé Lucas will only celebrate his 18th birthday in March and a move to Europe would be difficult before then due to FIFA regulations, a transfer is unlikely to be on the agenda before next summer.
