Rio 2016 Olympic games: Ten talents to watch out for in Brazil
Let’s start with the host country: Brazil. Lazio fans will be watching Rodrigo Caio very closely. The Sao Paulo centre-back is a target of the biancocelesti since Marcelo Bielsa asked the club to sign him. With El Loco who eventually decided not to join the Olimpico, Tare is still following the Brazilian defender. Left-back Zeca will be playing close to Rodrigo Caio, he’s a target of PSG, whilst Mexican left winger Hirving Lozano is on José Mourinho’s shortlist for Manchester United. He is under contract with Pachuca.
AS Roma’s Umar Sadiq will be one of the most watched strikers. He scored two goals in his first two Serie A games last term.
Inter and AS Roma target Niklas Sule is the cornerstone of Germany national team. The 21-year-old centre-back is contracted by Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. Julian Brandt (Bayer Leverkusen, winger) and Davie Selke (RB Leipzig, striker) are two more exciting prospects you want to admire in Brazil alongside Argentina’s Giovani Lo Celso who has just moved to PSG, Giovanni Simeone (son of El Cholo) who is negotiating a transfer to Genoa and Jonathan Calleri, a former Inter target close to joining West Ham.
