Real Madrid join Barcelona in race to land Brazilian wonderkid Messinho

Real Madrid have reportedly joined Barcelona in the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Estevão Willian - or Messinho as he’s become known.

Barcelona have been linked with the talented teenager for some time now, and Messinho has readily admitted it would be his dream to play for the Catalans.

Yet it seems he’s also now attracted interest from Madrid. Mundo Deportivo report the club have been in touch with Palmeiras to discuss his situation.

Messinho is currently at the Under-17 World Cup with Brazil where he’s been impressing with the national team.
