Pep Guardiola is interested in Brazilian Under-20 defender Lucas Halter.
The highly-rated centre back turns 18 next month and is already regarded as one of the best young defenders in Brazil.
Halter, called up to the Brazil Under-20’s this week, is already being coveted by Atletico Madrid and Roma.
But Manchester City boss Guardiola could be set to raid the South American market again having already turned both Ederson and another rising star, Gabriel Jesus, into Premier League champions.

Standing at 6ft 2in, Halter currently plays for Atletico Paranaense and has won plaudits for his composure, his aerial presence and his ability to bring the ball out of defence.
He is the club captain at youth level for Paranaense and has already been involved with their first team squads.
