Everton are interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder Reinier this summer.
The 17-year-old is very highly rated by Flamengo and the Toffees are looking to bring him in.
According to a report from Globoesporte, the Premier League club’s representatives have already met with the Brazilian club’s directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel.
The two directors have travelled to England for talks.
The report claims that Everton are prepared to submit a €40m (£35m) offer for the player.
Reinier is highly rated in Brazil and he is tipped to be the next big thing out of South America.
