Real Madrid look set to steal Sao Paulo star Lucas from Chelsea's clutches, despite the west London club's best efforts.
The Premier League side have already been dissatisfied by their chase for Brazilian star Neymar, who has snubbed all proposals from Chelsea to leave Santos.
To add insult to injury, Real Madrid are now looking like top contenders to sign Lucas, whose representative Juan Figer has been speaking to the La Liga side, according to reports in El Confidencial.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder is highly rated, already marking ten appearances for the Brazilian national team, and also scored debut goal against Argentina earlier in September.
However, he has signed a long-term deal with Sao Paolo, which means the South American side have the ability to demand big money for the young star.
Reports in talkSPORT indicate that the teenager is rated at around the region of £45 million by his club.
However, both clubs may end up being dissatisfied should a bidding war explode for Lucas, as Manchester City have also been recently linked to the player by the Spanish press.
