Top 5 current domestic Brazilian youngsters who could be the next Neymar

#2 Reinier Jesus

Already being compared to the great Kaka, at only 17, Reinier already looks set for a bright future

Age: 16 years old, Midfielder, Flamengo

2019 Club stats (youth team):

Appearances: 14

Goals: 7

At just 16, Reinier was being linked with moves away from Brazil long before he even made a senior club appearance.

Having dazzled in the youth set-up for both club and country, Reinier has been turning heads abroad, as clubs look to sign up the next Vinicius Jr. or Rodrygo ahead of their rivals.

Clubs in Europe still generally struggle to produce the type of talent Reinier seems to naturally possess in abundance and as a result, he will likely command a high transfer fee- even if it means waiting a while before he can be released to join the buying club (due to transfer age regulations).

A typical No.10 player, Reinier has great pace, swift acceleration and fantastic vision to bring other players around him into the game.

Still being so young, his physical development should be monitored, though his frame is already solid and he always appears strong on the ball.

He also has unusually long legs for a traditional Brazilian No. 10, though he utilises this to his advantage during any opportunity for a swift counter attack.

Flamengo, like their rivals Fluminese, have an exceptional conveyor belt of youth talent- Lucas Paqueta and Vinicius Jr. being just two recent graduates to make headlines across the Atlantic. Reinier, may very well be the next!
