Bruno Dybal’s agent has revealed that AC Milan and Napoli are among a number of Italian clubs interested in signing the young midfielder.

The Palmeiras prodigy is just 17 but is already being tracked by Serie A’s finest, according to Cristiane Pernambuco Bellassai.

“As a young man of great potential he has attracted the attention of several clubs,” the player’s representative told itasportpress.it. “In addition to Napoli, Palermo and even AC Milan, Fiorentina and Genoa have also asked for information on him.”

However, Bellassai, who compares his client’s style to that of “Kaka and Diego”, does not expect the interest to develop into a transfer just yet.

“I do not think it's possible to move to Italy in January as clubs will be opting for the simplest solutions [in terms of their transfer needs],” he said.
