Portuguese sources hint at Real's Bruma interest

18-year-old Sporting Lisbon winger, Bruma, considered one of Portuguese football's most promising talents is being watched closely by Real Madrid, his lawyer, Bebiano Gomes said in a statement picked up by the Portuguese press.

PSV Eindhoven and Galatasaray may also be interested in the young midfielder, considered the latest talent to come through the same Sporting youth academy as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Paulo Futre.

Despite the player not receiving an offer from Portugal's two biggest clubs – Porto and Benfica -, Gomes has not ruled out that Bruma, who shone at the Under-20 World Cup, might stay in Portugal.

"We're going to look at financial and footballing aspects together," said Gomes, who also said that every offer would be evaluated "equally." He added that the player receives a monthly salary of €2,000 at Sporting and has a €30m buy-out clause.

Armindo Tué Na Bangna, better known as 'Bruma', is currently at loggerheads with his club, because as far as he is concerned, his contract was up on 30th June, whilst Sporting states that it runs until 2014.

This controversy is expected to be resolved by Portugal's Sports Arbitration Committee before the end of the month or before the European transfer market closes on 2nd September. Meanwhile, the Guinea Bissau-born player has been excluded from team training at the club coached by Leonardo Jardim.
