Overview
- In a new FourFourTwo interview reported by Goal.com and Yahoo Sports, the Brazilian forward said he discovered Bobby Charlton through EA Sports FC’s Icons mode and then researched the Manchester United great.
- He said Real Madrid teammates, including Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, call him “Bobby,” which he views as light dressing-room banter that gives way to full focus during training and matches.
- Currently on loan at Lyon to secure steady minutes, he has six goals and five assists in 15 games across competitions this season, according to Yahoo Sports’ use of Transfermarkt data.
- He first surprised fans in 2024 when, after scoring his debut Brazil goal at Wembley as a 17-year-old, he named Charlton as an idol and reflected on playing at the England legend’s old stage.
- Media reports continue to link him with summer interest, with some outlets saying Manchester United are monitoring him and one claiming they lead the race, though that transfer talk remains unconfirmed.
