The 15-year-old's agent, Giovanni Galvao, said that is no surprise the player has attracted the interest  of Europe's top clubs, but has stressed that he does not see his client moving on any time soon.

He said: "Yuri is now seen as one of the best strikers in the youth categories of Brazil, and this is why he’s drawn the attention of the best clubs in the world. But we do not think, for now, about any change."
