O meia-atacante Carlos Eduardo, do Grêmio, admitiu que está "focado" no clube gaúcho e disse que deixou as negociações com as equipes européias por conta de seu empresário. No entanto, afirmou que se precisasse escolher algum time, optaria pelo Milan.

O Hoffeheim, da segunda divisão alemã, e o Milan estariam interessados no futebol do jovem atleta.

"Sei que existem alguns contatos, mas estou preocupado com o Grêmio e a participação no Brasileiro. Meu empresário está cuidando disso. É claro que se eu pudesse escolher, iria para o Milan. Agora, só penso no Grêmio", ressaltou.

Apesar da insistência, o Grêmio pretende manter Carlos Eduardo até o final do ano, mesmo negociando-o antes do término da temporada. A direção já recusou propostas de 6 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 16 milhões).

"I know that there have been contacts but I'm worried about Gremio and the championship. My agent is working on that. It's obvious that if I could chose I'd go to Milan. But now I only think in Gremio."

He's another top-youngster from U-20 Brazil NT. Pato, him and Renato Augusto are probably the best. He's 20 and can play as LW or AM, or even as SS.

Anyway... Pato gave an interview saying that he'd welcome Carlos in Milan, both were city-rivals in Brazil but good friends: http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/...89-4411,00.html

His agent today confirmed that they're negotiating with a European club although Gremio only wants to free him in January.

I'd love to see this kid here but we've no non-EU places left... well, in fact we have but it's for Pato in December.

He'll probably go to Inter, Porto or some other club. A shame... a wonder-kid wanting us... and we can't do anything (could loan him though). But I can't see Milan wasting more 15M/euros for a kid. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Oh! Nice... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

He looks like Ronaldinho and from what I've seen he also plays like him... tricks and flicks and stuff like that... I don't really like his play and I don't think he's ready for Europe just yet...

Anyway... I doubt we're going to spend another 15 million for a youngster... If there's one young Brazilian midfielder we should have bought, that's Lucas Leiva! Too bad we missed out on him...
