Manchester United have reportedly made an approach for Brazilian teenager Lincoln.
The 16-year-old's current club Gremio are already believed to have been contacted by Leicester City regarding the youngster's availability.
Boa Informacao claims that two teams have been in touch with the Brazilian outfit, with one of those interested parties thought to be the Red Devils.
Lincoln, who has made just two appearances for Gremio, has been praised by former Selecao boss Luis Felipe Scolari, who expects the youngster to make waves in the game.
However, a spokesman for the player's third-party owners, DIS Group, has suggested that a move away is unlikely at the moment due to his age.
Neymar injury delays Manchester United's move for Barcelona's Pedro?
Barcelona will reportedly not allow Pedro to joinManchester United until Neymar returns to full health.
The Brazilian attacker is expected to be on the sidelines for two weeks after contracting mumps.
United manager Louis van Gaal is believed to be eager to get Pedro through the Old Trafford doors in time for Friday's trip to face Aston Villa.
However, according to Sport, Barcelona want Pedro to play in the Super Cup tie against Sevilla and the Spanish giants will not offload the winger until Neymar returns to the team.
Pedro reportedly has a release clause worth £23m.

Pedro must follow his heart, says Dani Alves
Barcelona attacker Pedro must follow his heart when it comes to choosing his future, according to team-mate Dani Alves, via FourFourTwo.
The 28-year-old’s future has been subject to a great deal of speculation this summer, and at the moment he is being heavily linked with a move to Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United. Furthermore, the Express say the deal is set to be done in days, with Pedro ready to join and the two clubs agreeing on a fee.
Alves, who himself was linked with a move away this summer, has said that if it were up to him he’d like Pedro to stay with the Catalan club for the foreseeable future.
He went on to say, though, that things become complicated when too many people get involved, and ultimately Pedro must follow his heart when he makes his decision.
Before the UEFA Super Cup, Alves said, as per FourFourTwo: “Ultimately the decisions don’t come to me, they are for other people. The more people interfere, the harder the decision is. Of course if I had to make the decision it would be for him to stay here for many more years.
“It’s down to him and his heart but if he stays we’ll be delighted, if not we’ll respect his decision. If you feel you’re not wanted at a club you have to go. Let’s hope he doesn’t make that decision.”
With just a couple of weeks left of the transfer window, it shouldn’t be too long before Pedro’s future is decided in terms of whether he stays with Barcelona or makes the much-hyped move to United.
One of the biggest problems for Pedro if he decided to stay at Barcelona is that, despite his affection for the club, he isn’t likely to start too many games with Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi in the team.
By contrast, he would likely be a regular starter for United should he sign, whether that is on the left, the right or even through the middle.
