Chelsea eyeing Brazilian Winger Mauricio Magalhaes Prado
Chelsea’s interest in Brazilian winger Mauricio Magalhaes Prado has been confirmed by his agent, amid ongoing transfer speculation.
The 22-year-old, identified for his versatility in the attacking band, has impressed fans with his spectacular exploits for Internacional in the Brazilian Serie A.
Andre Cury stated via Sports Witness: “I know [Chelsea] like him a lot, but so far there have been no enquiries. He’s got several enquiries from Europe.”
Mauricio has made over 150 appearances for the club since his senior debut, showing his impressive skills on the field. Despite being linked with a move to MLS, debates failed, leaving the player’s future uncertain.
Internacional has raised their asking price to €12 million, and potential suitors, including Tottenham Hotspur, have been recommended.
Mauricio’s international experience, having represented Brazil at the U23 level, adds to his appeal. However, his participation alongside teammate Andrey Santos in the pre-Olympic tournament ended in disappointment as Brazil failed to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
While Chelsea’s interest adds intrigue to the transfer saga, the complexity of ownership rights, with Internacional holding only half of the player’s economic rights, could pose challenges in finalizing any deal.
With the international break fueling transfer rumours, Mauricio’s future remains a topic of keen interest for football enthusiasts worldwide.
