A report claims that Manchester City had scouts present at the Maracana to watch Palmeiras youngster Patrick de Paula in action against Santos at the weekend.

Manchester City are reportedly one of a number of European clubs keeping tabs on Palmeiras youngster Patrick de Paula.

The 21-year-old midfielder was brought on during the second half of his side's 1-0 win over Santos in Saturday's Copa Libertadores final.

Brazilian outlet UOL claims that Man City had scouts in attendance at the Maracana as they continue to monitor Patrick's development.

Portuguese giants Benfica are also said to be interested in the Rio de Janeiro-born player, who has yet to be capped by Brazil at any level.

Patrick made his Palmeiras debut in January last year and featured 19 times in the Brazilian top flight in 2020.
